Can cancer recur in a different area?
I am a melanoma cancer survivor and I'm always scared going to doctor for fear of cancer returning in a different place. Is it possible for cancer to return in a different part of body?
Expert Answer
Hi. It is always possible for cancer to appear in another part of the body but you can schedule regular exams with your doctor and try not to think about the danger of this occurring often. In other words, try and eat well so you get proper nutrition, exercise often if you can and think positively. If you remain concerned try and schedule time to talk with you doctor as well as the nurses in the office. Health counseling can also help you face fears head on at the level you wish. It is a sign of strength to get help with worries and concerns.
Stay well
