Thanks!!! It is SOOO nice to have such quick and empathetic responses! I leave for Houston on Sunday for the every-4-months CT, CXR, bloodwork and doc talk–we stay for 3 days–and my precheckup anxiety has been calmed a bit by having contact with you folks.

I too was given the 50/50 figures, with the added info that, for the 50% that have a return of the cancer, 85% reoccur within the first two years (hence, t he every 4 months checkups right now). So, Sue, you really are well on your way through the odds!!

Also nice to hear that the no chemo/rad approach appears to be more common than I thought. My doc said he saw no reason to put the body through any nonspecific chemo program since there was nothing to target….keep the arsenal in the hip pocket for future use if necessary. So, I will revisit the topic with him next week–and keep you posted on his comments.

Again, thanks!! I look forward to routinely checking in here with newfound buddies
