    Wonderful news Soldier Crab!  So you are not seen after 5yrs?? Really? My Mum was reviewed for 20yrs. Im 6yrs and only as had recurrence at 4yr mark, though my Oncologist and Surgeon  said i will always be reviewed. I thought id stop seeing him and my Surgeon at some point but they said No?

    Well done. I'm 4 years on too, 5 in October fingers crossed. As you say, it seems such a long haul from the newly diagnosed end, but no time at all from this end.
