Our oncologist at MDA was more concerned about the t4 rating than him being lvi or the cell type. Because of the t4, he did chemo and now over 6 years later, he is fine.
I can understand your anxiety and I'm sorry to say that no matter how far out you get, it never fully goes away, but does get a bit better. My sister is a 20 year cancer survior and she still has anxiety. I think its almost a normal response. You being over three years out being NED is a excellent sign that you are on your way to being declared cured. Hang in there!
Wishing you the best,
Deb

So I do feel more confident now and will see what the councellor says later. Tracy, the only reason I can think of for my signature thingy character limit, is that I must be special or they didn't count properly.
