Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 100 | Leena, Good for you! Happy one year anniversary! Rod didn't have surgery just chemo & rad. concurrent.He finished in July of 04.I guess Mar 30, 04 wasn't a real good day for you either.  I have heard the percentages of the cancer coming back drop after the first year anniversary & then go down even lower after 2, has anyone else heard this? Well anyway for today Rod is cancer free also so lets just thank the Lord for today, right?Continued good health Leena & God bless! Maureen

Thats a great attitude to have but for some of us who do worry this is a good little bit of info. I would like to be pretty sure on the one year anniversary date...so we can celebrate a little!!!And it's nice when the percentages of recurrence go down after a certain point if not for anything, just peace of mind.
