Yes, I found out, the hard way, that they can come back. It really took the wind out of my sails. I felt fine, thought everything was going good and had just gone for my regular check. That's why regular follow ups are so important.
That's why getting treatment is so important, because if I had gotten treatment 3 1/2 years ago, they may not have come back or at least been longer than 3 1/2 years.
My understanding, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is that if they've come back once, they're going to come back again, so treatment is the best way to prolong them coming back.
I'm also new to this site because I thought it was over and done with 3 1/2 years ago. Hopefully we can use the knowledge of others to help us through. Your husband will be in my thoughts for his surgery. He's lucky to have a wife as caring as you.
