Hi. My experience is with MD Anderson where a family member was treated for a reoccurrence (we actually think not all of it was caught the first time). I have met a few former patients who continue to check in years after their treatments. One lady who had breast cancer and has been free from it for 21 years told me she had a superstition that if she ever stopped going back, she would likely have a reoccurrence. Obviously, there is no connection. However, this belief probably enhanced the power of her positive thinking, which in many ways is a great support to good health. Trust your instincts and do what you need to alleviate your anxiety.
