Hi @ladonnagissel, I can imagine you are worried that the cancer may have returned. Have you considered getting a second opinion at Mayo Clinic?

Hello @ladonnagissel and welcome to Mayo Connect. I can understand your concern with the return of symptoms that you had previous to your surgery in August. Would you be able to describe the symptoms you are having?

I am glad to hear that you have contacted your doctor's office. Has the doctor scheduled you for an appointment for a follow up appointment or tests?
