Got the results of my CT a couple weeks ago and it showed no recurrence. I'm now on the every-three-month routine, so the next one is in December. The oncologist mentioned that maybe they'd mis-staged my cancer, but I doubt it.
Someone here wrote that the fight is relentless, and I'm sure she's right. My problem is complacency. I feel pretty good, better than before the surgery and certainly before the chemo, which was difficult but less so than I'd expected. So I've reverted to my old ways: not eating very well, not exercising, and so forth. What's happened to my determination?

Glad to hear there is no recurrence.
I am also not as worried as I think I should be about the cancer that was in my body. Yeah, I figure the doctors did a good job and got it all out, and as soon as the radiation is complete, life will be back to normal. Other people talk about being so upset by the big "C" word. I had an initial emotional reaction when I first found out, but then it was all about dealing with the decision the doctors were making about the best form of treatment. My efforts went toward dealing with the daily pain or discomfort. I wonder if I am still in some sort of denial about the fact that I had cancer. My lack of worry about the cancer coming back and making my life worse, worries me. Does this make any sense?
Again glad for the good results of the CT.
