    Yes it is , specially if you got a met moths or years after your
    primary cancer (not synchronic) , also he has been operated so you got lots of chances.

    Oh
    Wow. As a fellow stage 1 survivor, I always feel the hairs on the back of my neck when I read about something like this. Sure hope he'll be FINE from this point on.

    *hugs*

    Sorry
    Sorry to hear this, but this is really not usual but can happen. Hoping that he gets this taken care of soon and all is well.
