@alohman08 Your experiences and treatments you've had and are still doing provide such helpful information for all of us. We can't do anything about the cancer diagnosis that occurred in the past. What we can do is exactly what you and everyone else here is doing. We stay aware of our bodies, we make the effort to live healthy lives and we go to all the follow-up appointments that are recommended.

I try to look at all of this as a chronic disease I need to stay on top of. No disrespect to anyone here who has diabetes which I do not, but that's how I look at this. When a person has diabetes they know it's not going to go away (well, depending on the kind of diabetes, anyway). What they need to do is follow their medical provider's recommendations which is medication, diet, and exercise.

I like what you wrote here. As long as cancer keeps a low profile although I know it's never going away then I can be happy.
