I have been reading that we should be watching for symptoms of recurring cancer. Do any of you know what sign or symptoms we should watch for?

    Perhaps not true for all, but I found my own recurrance by checking the nodes in my neck area right above my clavicle on the left side. Check your neck area thoroughly and also under your arms and in your groin/thigh area for lumps and bumps. Being vigilant never hurts.

    Thanks, Kerry. I've gained so much weight, I feel like one big lump!(Rubbing my neck as I reply)
