@alamogal635- Good morning. Oh boy do I know what you mean! lol. Although I feel great I'm still dreading my CT scan this Tuesday. After hearing that I have cancer 4 times I'm still never ready to hear it again. All I can say is that you get use to it- the dread, the heart palpitations, the night mares, the cold sweats...And you have to accept that it might come back and that you might have to go "through it all again". That doesn't make it easier, just more familiar. I think that I finally accepted it with my last one, almost 2 years ago. I also know that there are options and always new treatments.
The cancer world isn't any easy one. It's riddled with uncertainty, fear and looking over your shoulder. It's like having a bad dream follow you around, but with a truth attached to it. You can either chose to give yourself options in dealing with it, like you have, or deny it, like I did for quite a while. Does this make sense?.
