The worry of reoccurrence is very normal after what we have gone through. For me it has been 23 years and I still think a cough or pain is cancer. It isn’t of course.
The healing is ever so slow. Months and really a couple of years before you reach a normal level that will never be your pre-cancer normal. New things pop up. Pain, nerves, taste, smell all changes. It’s just something else we live with that most folks don’t understand.
My GP and friend advised years ago that if something continues for four weeks, that I should give him a call. Never had to call him.
Courage.
