Re: Recurrence after 12 years
JayKay,
Sorry to read your post...I think all of us early stagers who are NED are realistic that the situation can change on a dime for us.
The earlier cancer is detected and the earlier treatment begins, the better the chance. You have been diligent in your care for the past 12 yrs. As you already know the current treatments for early stage has changed the stats.
I understand how you feel to hear the "c" word...Dr. Slamon told me that and the little voice in my head kept saying..."did I hear that right?"
Thinking of you and sending you healing energy.
Jean
