Thank you for sharing your knowledge and viewpoints.
Though I’ve been NED these past 2+ years, I know enough about the aggressive nature of my CCC to know that another recurrence is more than likely and that there isn’t really anything out there for me.
The 3 month CT scans were reassuring in a way and I’m having trouble with doubling that time frame. It’s something I will have to learn to live with.
And I guess I misunderstood Signatera because I thought that it would pick up the presence of cancer cells in the blood even before a scan would find something.
I’m always learning.
Here’s to better detection and treatments. (And a cure!!)

The reduction in surveillance is because recurrance is highest in the first 2 years. The reduction of surveillance is what research says is most effective. But the problem with clear cell and serous is that they are rare and not studied. I will be very nervous about the reduction.
I'm another topic but one I am interested in is lifestyle approach to cancer prevention. You haven't had a recurrance and for me is so hopeful. I want to know more about what you are doing to stay healthy and cancer free. Do or have you made lifestyle changes such as diet complementary therapies, exercise?

I kind of dispute to find a path forward.

You did not misunderstand. It does pick up circulating dna from your tumor in the blood test long before it shows up on scans which leads to early detection of a recurrence. A very good tool to add to the toolbox.
