I can so relate...my husband is about 7 year's cancer free and just had a recurrence. Fortunately like you it was caught early and they lazered it off. Just when you think you can start breathing a little easier and then whamo! Hang in there Angela. This incident made me realize that we always have to be diligent with the checkups. Early detection is the key!
Love,
Shelley
