Hi Neicy. Your diagnosis' timing and mine are about the same, and although our treatments took different paths we find ourselves in about the same place a year later. For me the worry doesn't go away either, in fact I've not read anyone here - talked to anyone in my treatment center - that said it wasn't a permanent worry. But it *is* something we learn to tolerate and adjust to. Life goes on, and there is so very much to be grateful for. Congrats on your 1-year status!
