Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 50 | Yesterday was my one year anniversary from surgery. After two check ups here in TN and three trips to MD Anderson (2nd opinion), I have been advised to continue followup in TN and that everything looks good. Next check up is in July. CTs every visit. Pleased with the news, but it is still one day at the time. Thanks for the support and advice I have gotten from this group.
God bless.
