I saw this reply you made sometime ago and just had to write. I wanted to tell you, the anxiety does go away. You have to believe you are now well. This is very important to your happiness and also your well being.. Your body gains strength knowing it is well, and because you can once again feel the joy of life. I feel like I have worn out these words, but I think it is important for you to know," I had breast cancer at 36, and had a Radical Mastectomy, and had the second breast removed two years later. That was 56 years ago. I also had a Dermatofibrosarcoma removed from my thigh, but thanks to God I am still here. Just believe you are well, find something you love doing and do it. Give your knowledge and blessing to those who are just starting out on this journey, look at the smiling faces of those you love and count your blessings. You will find the anxiety is gone and LIFE IS GOOD.

Thank you for your kind words. Life is good! I do not get stuck in anxiety, but it comes to haunt me from time to time. I will be having the spacer removed from my left breast and a prothsetic put in its place and my right breast augmented. This happens in 3 weeks.
I know that nutrition, activity and sleep have helped during this journey and throughout my life. I also share my fears with close friends and family. That reduces the anxious moments even when they have no words to share.
Thank you again and as always LIFE IS GOOD!
