I still think about it all the time, I don’t worry about every little thing anymore. Probably because I spend my time trying to fan the forever hot flashes and cool my burning neuropathy riddled feet. I have a bit of a sense of humor about, but again, sometimes it just sucks. Right now the feet are the worst of it for me. They really seemed to turn a corner for the worse this year, do not know why. May I ask how old you were? You don’t have to share exact ages. Lol

Chris, I was 48 when I was diagnosed. You mention hot flashes- the first chemo threw my hormones for a loop. Life really changed!

My feet are the worst too. I want to be able to drive again and am going to try Vit D3 that my chemo nurse told me
I am depleted of. I read it can help me with neuropathy and from cancer coming back. As for worrying about the future, I'm going to be 80 in October. I used to think I'd live a really long time, now now so much, but chances are good that I will make it another 10 years, so that's good enough.
