Now, with this terrible disease, unfortunately, finding any lump and bump, especially in the general area where cancer was, is always going to be a source of great distress and worry for me. I am sure pretty sure anyone here can relate to that. I can and will continue to try to worry less, but sometimes it is impossible. [/quote]

I can definitely relate Ambra, since I too am in the process of having a "new issue" checked out. Anxiety has stolen far more hours from humanity than cancer ever will. Get mad about that and refuse to give in to worries that only rob today of calm and sweetness! Take comfort in the fact that you are doing everything you can to take care of yourself.

Oh Ambra, I am sorry that things have been so rough for so long. The least cancer could do for you is to set you free to pursue happiness. What would that be like?
