Just to re-affirm my NED status. Another year.

I asked my onc last week during the six month check up, whether my understanding of the recurrence rate versus time from first cancer discovery is getting lower after 18 to 24 month. He said that this was considered to be correct in the past. But a recent article showed that there is no reduced recurrence rate. He could not give me a more precise info on where this article is. If any of you happens to know, please post it.

That was a disturbing news for me. Otherwise, all are well.
