My oncologist told me the same thing. Most recurrences happen within two years of diagnosis. I hope that's true as well.

Awesome!
I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 13 years NED). Is this real life?

I will still keep the October 5th appointment to go over the scans in case there's something else that shows up on them. I'm really happy there's no cancer but wish I knew what was causing my stomach issues. I hope I don't sound ungrateful because I am very grateful.


Sorry to hear you're having stomach trouble, but it's awesome that you're still in remission. Way to go, girl. :)
