Alisa Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Does anyone know the statistics on having a recurrence of Stage 2b/IIIa nsclc-adenocarcinoma after showing no evidence of disease for 2 years? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina D. Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I don't know for sure abou IIs. I am a 1a. My onc told me that the first 2 years were the most critical and reoccurance, if it was going to happen, would most likely happen during that time. It can still happen after, but the stats drop down quite a bit. So I guess, if he is correct, that you can breath alittle easier now (Excuse the pun!) but don't let your guard down just yet. Another II might be able to help you here..the time frame is probably different for a more progressed stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
