I am sorry you are going through this. I believe is distract, distract, distract. The mind can only focus on one thing at a time so staying positive is #1. Unfortunately, the subconscious is harder if not impossible to control (but hey, if you have/had cancer you learn about the lack of control quickly if you are to get through it). Even talking about it helps because I realize I are not alone and it does take the focus off me. And the dogs, talking about living in the moment and pure joy and love.❤️

@hopenjoy2024 So true. I think I do need a therapist to be able to talk freely. I think my family are in denial that I could possibly get sick again! I am so well. I can totally understand where they’re at. They went through my bad time with me and want to leave it in the rear view mirror. I wish I could keep my eyes focussed ahead too. I usually do - except around scan times 🥹
Finding the joy each day has been so helpful through treatment and recovery. I think that’s the thing: to focus even more heavily on that on the Scanxiety days.
