I love your positive attitude! Worrying will not ever be a helpful tool to get you thru anything.

What you have described above is not an easy accomplishment. Most patients are very apprehensive and worry constantly. Being able to take a step back and see the big picture is not easy to do. Im glad you are able to avoid all the stress worrying brings with it. Stress is not healthy for anyone.

Best wishes with your treatments.
