LisaAus888 - Fear of recurrence is a constant in this crowd. It's amazing how cancer changes your life - you outlook on things. Someone here said, "After you've had cancer, you don't get headaches - you get brain tumors!! (until the aspirin kicks in.)"

Cancers have a bad habit of returning or re-emerging. Fear of that is kind of imobilizing until you figure out you can do NOTHING about it. Then it gets easier - though it doesn't go away.... Best to you and yours, Tom J
