@chrissiebee Thank you for responding and for your explanation. Your medical history as you recount makes me a little nervous as I think about my next cancer surveillance appointments in December. At that time it will 6.5 years since my initial diagnosis of endometroid adenocarcinoma, Stage 1a and 4.5 years since a recurrence where I had radiation therapy. I often wonder what I will do now (I'm 73-years-old, am healthy and have a good quality of life) if I have another recurrence or a new primary cancer. I suppose I will do the treatment recommended but as I guess closer to 80 years old, maybe not? I guess I really won't know unless those decisions stare me in the face.

So, You are now 80-years-old, 30 years after your first diagnosis at age 50. That's excellent. You are a testimony to how cancer can be treated and a person can live well for many years.
