has it returned after being "cured" ?
how long after being told they were cancer free did it take to come back?

Best to you and I hope you can find someone to connect with.

I had TURP (they surgically removed a tumor from the INSIDE wall of my bladder....they didn't make ANY incisions to get there. Ouch!), followed by 6 weeks of chemicals. The cancer was a surprise Christmas gift in '02, I've been cancer-free ever since. Lucky me!
