She also goes for a checkup every 3 months and is now just weeks away from reaching 5yrs being cancer free. We made the decision to retire early and it has been a godsend for her as she is enjoying every minute of it. The prospect of a treatment center close by as compared to what she/we had to endure in CT when she was going through treatment is very important to us but we also hold out hope that she never has to go through that process again. Best wishes.
Here is a heartfelt hug for you both.
