I had breast cancer treatments 29 years ago- a long time ago. Everything has been fine, but I still get a chill when it's time for the annual mammogram. I used to be "hysterical" around the time of year when I was diagnosed, not now. I know that if something new is found it's not the initial cancer, but a new one that can be treated. I also have the motto "it is what it is and I'll deal with it".

I just tell myself that the only thing stronger than fear is hope. Embracing hope beats living in fear every day. If nothing else it's an east mantra to repeat to myself often.
