I had a really hard time with recurrance with mets to my lungs, andfor the first few months no treatment or bad symptoms. It was not growing much but micro mm growth in lungs. My doctor said we did not have to treat because stable (mostly) After almost two years we tried a drug trial that just hit a plateau so stopped. My recurrence has luckily been slow growing. Don't listen to statistics! just over last weekend my daughter (M.D.) at UCLA got a message about maybe doing the 5FU origional chemo again! He will explain next Tuesday but I have been so anxious I had to use my emergency Xanax. The idea of getting another port implant and losing my hair again is making me feel ill. But some folks online have gotten rid of a recurrence twice so I hope you are lucky!
