Re: Four years out
MomDeeco -- Do we ever get past worries about recurrence? In my case, no. But the worries are much less intense. I think I would describe myself as "vigilant" rather than worried. Since my family has a history of other cancers ( bladder, stomach) back through generations, I am glad that I will continue to see my oncologist -- twice a year until my five year anniversary, then once a year for another five years at least.
