oops...forgot to add there are things you can do to lower your risk of recurrence...reduce stress (lowers your immunity/cancer fighting white cells)...exercise...watch your sugar intake (most cancer cells feed on high sugar in your body)...also diet helps...I eat lots of tomatoes, garlic, onions, cruciferus veggies (broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts) helps fight cancer...and the spice Tumeric (can find in any grocery store)...I use lots of Tumeric...you can sprinkle on anything but I love it in mac & cheese and scrambled eggs...makes them a wonderful golden color and although it is from the curry family it has a very mild taste...recently I was advised also to take Vit D3 and Omega Fatty acids...I'm just not going to sit around and wait for it to come back, I'm working to keep cancer away!! There ya go
