yes this disease can come back with a vengence. but it seems all cancers are brutal when and if they return. i remember my step mother gettiing her breast cancer back about 2 yrs after it was gone......went to her lung, bones and brain. doctors should not even use the term cure when it comes to any type of cancers. a cure is somthing you get rid of and it never comes back....all cancers have a chance that they will return.
