@ffr I get it. If only we had a step-by-step manual for the prevention of recurrence or new cancers. I also feel, sometimes, like you that I want to enjoy the lifestyle and foods while I can and throw the healthy stuff out the window. But, here's something one of my doctors told me. All of my efforts also help to prevent cardiovascular disease which is far more common in my age group (I'm 74 years old). My mother had congestive heart failure and I've seen many people over the years who have had strokes and lived with disability. So, I'm trying to open up to other positive effects of a healthy lifestyle. At my last visit my doctor told me - "consistency is the key".
I appreciate how active you are in Mayo Clinic Connect. So, please remind myself that your sisters are here with you. We get it. And we understand the scanxiety.
@ffr You are doing great! Wish it was easier to stay healthy but that is not the boat we are in. Keep your chin up!
I agree that those scans are a tough mental trip. Wishing you continued good health and peace.

@ffr I am in the same boat but 2 and a half years out from last treatment. I lost my original care team due to my insurance. Unable to switch because of my diagnosis and being 72. Do you still have your port?
