Has anyone ever had a relapse? I was out shopping today and started bleeding. I have been in remission for about 10 months

    Relapse is only relapse as long as you are cancer free and it seems that it needs to really be gone for several years before that start talking relapse. There are a lot of other reasons for bleeding --hope you have found some help and comfort before now, but if not, you need to get some and fight the good fight! Lots of times I am tempted to give in to it and just get depressed...I have always tended toward depression, but I have found that getting mad at the cancer works better. If I go out, I will go out kicking and scratching to the very end!!!
