Hi,

I just saw your message and I understand your panic. I am new to this having been diagnosed in Aug and first Chemo at end of Sept. I understand always thinking you might have it again and I've already thought about it. I think this is where you put your life into you doctors hands and comply with all the follow up like PET scans and maybe learn how to locate your lymph nodes in your body and do a self check occasionally. One thing to remember is that even if it does recur, lymphoma is one of the most easily treated cancers. Not fun! I know that but at least treatable.

Last but definitely not least is prayer. I have put myself in my Savior's hands and while I know we live in a fallen world and bad things happen, with Him some good will come out of it and prayer does work!
