After all you’ve gone thru and all the various surgeries, procedures and drugs how could you NOT be sensitive to any bump, ache of twinge??!!
Better to be fully engaged with your body than to treat everything as ‘nothing’ IMO.

Yes, I agree. It's very important to self-monitor. I think the disorder is when it becomes excessive and dysfunctional, just like washing your hands is good, but continuing until your hands are raw and bleeding isn't. It's tricky with cancer, because we always worry that the one thing we decide *not* to worry about will be the one that matters.
