Here is my two cents - I hope I don't upset anyone. Remember my history,n ho much I have over come, and that I am very upbeat and will fight this disease until the bitter end.
As of today, there is NO CURE FOR CANCER. End of story. I look forward to the day there is and I'll lead the parade. I know we re getting closer all the time. I believe the cancer will come back some time in the future, BUT it may not happen until after you have passed on from natural causes, heart disease, a car accident, whatever...Or like me, it comes back just after I reach some sort of normalcy - bamb! I think we can do things to help keep it at bay and should never forget that it lurks, but don't let it control you or take over your thoughts. Tell your doctor of all changes and take good care of yourself. Jmo
