[quote]Meanwhile i keep going back to the words of wisdom I've read many times on this site: it's not cancer till the biopsy says it is. [/quote]Make this your mantra, chanted every time one of those nasty thoughts or worries enters your mind.

You KNOW you are already on a cancer journey, so no need to spend any time worrying about that. You KNOW recurrence is a possibility for any cancer survivor, so no need to worry about that. You KNOW it is not cancer until biopsied, so no need to worry about that.

Naturally, you are stressed and anxiety ridden with worry while waiting but we all manage worry every day. So, just do your best to hold the image of no more cancer until you KNOW otherwise.

Hang in there,
Don
