You know that five years seemed to go on. Forever. Worrying about it coming back every cat scan I was a nervous wreck. I,m still worried it will come back,but I worry less now I hope everyone makes that five year mark or longer. The surgery really took it out of me I Don,,t have a high. Energy level. I just take it one day at a time I have other medical problems. I do The best I can. I wish for all of you that your cured. If anyone wants to talk I,m here. I,'ll be here for all of you. susiejo1948

I remember the 5 year mark, it felt good, but the 10 year mark felt better. You will always think occasionally about the possibility of cancer coming back but it becomes less a worry and more a fleeting thought. Congratulations on your milestone. Amanda
