        Thanks again, that is incredibly helpful.  Your story is of course amazing and encouraging. My scans came back negative and so elated but cannot find a diagnosis for chest pain and ongoing flu-like symptoms. Nonetheless, I will accept as positive.

          Thanks JuTMSY4.  Yes, thats what is happening; radical neck dissection 18-months ago and now this.  I see results shortly on a scan just taken.  I've been focused on blood heavy areas for reoccurance (as thats what I've been told; lungs, liver and brain) but I know of course there are many outcomes.  Relaxing is hard but it is unquestionably good advice.  Can I ask; what was your treatment after it spread?
