Three month checkups for two years, then every six months for three more years, then every year. 90+% chance that there won't be a recurrence.

Congrats! Keep a positive attitude... and eat well. A good diet is everything when dealing with cancer.

Thanks for sharing the good news. We all need to hear about great things that are most important because they are most personal. Helps to counter the gloom-and-doom about general events.
