@isadora2021 I'm happy for you finding peace. My sister made peace with her fate though it was a cancer that I survived 20 years ago, and she only had 3. I experienced the same guilt after my brother died from cancer 2-years after I had survived. This journey we call life is wondrously beautiful, yet often brutal. It appears that our expectations can make a difference in how we handle it.

@56tburd Thank you. Although I do have peace I still get Scanxiety waiting for my scan and blood results. I’ve recently changed to 6 monthly.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister and brother. That’s tough.
I really can’t explain why I have been able to approach my cancer as I have. Maybe because my grandmother was murdered. Or because my mother died from small cell lung cancer less than 30 days after diagnosis (we thought she had flu). Perhaps having experienced those terrible things somehow helped. I really don’t know 🤷♀️
