No, you are not alone, but it certainly can feel that way.
Five years in, have had surgery and radiation. Scans every 3-4 months. Stable is my favorite word. Think one of the hard things about this type of cancer is explaining it to others. Glad you found us!!

Yes, explaining it to others is more complicated. People assume that after a surgery with stage 1 cancer one is out of the woods, and it is just about monitoring. But for multifocal it is one down and which one is up to bat next. In 19 months, I have had two surgeries and am expecting to start shortly with radiation for one or more nodules depending on PET scan

Thanks Meka, I noticed in a much older post you were in the Womens Army Corps. I served 1976-1979.
