Kathy: are you saying you were cancer-free for 19 years and then recurred? Do you know for sure that it is a recurrance or is it a whole new cancer? Where did the cancer recur? Not to say I won't be happy to be cancer free for 19 years, but I am a little worried about recurring and am talking to my oncologist about being a bit more proactive. Aside from yearly visits, blood work including tumor markers and a mammo, I have no other tests. In fact, I have no idea what most of you are even talking about. Several years ago I had a MRI and a bone scan but that's it. My oncologist prefers to depend on the blood work as an indicator of something going on. He feels the scans etc. are a waste of time and tells me the blood work will show something sooner than the scans...What do you all think? Stephanie
