I had a scare a few weeks back that luckily turned out to be not what we thought. I have to admit the fear of second cancer struck me off guard. We get complacent in the world we're in and what we're presently coping with, but what if it gets rocked yet again?
Do you or have you experienced a second cancer scare?

I’ve never had a scare of a second cancer just the return of the first diagnosis but I am definitely with you on not getting too comfortable. Nobody wants to go through the fight again or over and over again 😣

I had a relapse of cutaneous T cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2008 after having been diagnosed and treated with CHOP in 2005. I was treated in 2008 for 4 mos with ICE and then had an autologous stem-cell transplant on Jan 2, 2009. I have been in remission ever since--13 years. My oncologist tells me I will never have NHL again. However: I do worry from time to time about contracting a different form of cancer, possibly as sequlae to the chemo prior to transplant. ICE was extremely debilitating and has its own horrid array of long-term effects.
