Staying positive: How do you do it?

I'm three years out from diagnosis and am finally relaxing and not thinking that the cancer is right around the corner. I had a scare in January and it took 6 weeks to find out that I didn't have mets. I realized that I spent way too much time worrying. If I get more cancer, I'll deal with it then, but for now I will be observant. I'll let my doctors know if I notice any changes and wait for their expert diagnosis. This being said, I am 78 and know that pieces and parts break down all the time. I'm not thinking that everything is part of the aging process, but some of it is. I will still be proactive until the end.

Thank you for that, you sound like me but you have reached the other side, thank goodness for you! My biggest problem is the waiting for tumor to shrink and then surgery. Once I am on the road to recovery I hope my anxiety will wane and I can get to where you are.
