Hi @spikeb1, That’s great news that your first CT looked clear! I’m encouraged to hear that you and many others have found the cancer at an early stage. Yes, there are sometimes recurrences, but when that happens it is often many many years later. Also, don’t forget that those people without recurrences are often out living their best lives, and not hanging out on Mayo Connect.
It sounds like your surgery was successful, how are you feeling? How often will you have follow up scans?

I get that folks don’t hang here unless they have questions or a need to share. I am a retired nurse so always looking for an opportunity to help. I can only do that from experience with the early stage cancers. But this site helped me when I was having post op pain and I continue to monitor and think I will for a long time.
