Hi. I hope you are feeling re-assured by the previous post. I think that once cancer touches a family it never quite goes away. Martin has been cancer free now for almost 6 years. But the slightests sore throat or mention of a mouth ulcer and I worry and keep an eye. This disease is so awful and the treatment so hard that it stays. I never show him my worries, but make sure I know if something is wrong, and make sure he keeps telling me. I am not negative, on the contrary out of the 2 of us I am the most positive, but secretly I worry. I never tell Martin I do though, he is negative and "grumpy" (as our 3 year old would say) enough as it is. We all had at least 1 rant here. It's nice to be able to turn somewhere.
