I just wanted you all to know that Lord forbid your kidney cancer to return, mine did 10 years after my 1st diagnosis. And then again just 4 months after my 2nd. I am proud to say I beat it for the 3rd time in June 2020. I hope everyone else is doing good. Thank you and God bless you all

    Thanks for a very important reminder that follow up should continue for at least 10 years. Scans could be once in a couple of years after year 5 (for localized non-aggressive cancer), but they still should continue just in case
