Hi Rosie,

I think cancer is a life altering experience and if you didn't feel anxious, depressed, worried, unable to sleep at times you really would be nuts.

My husband and I are still having those moments but they're getting better. Do we all worry about the cancer coming back? Yes, it's part of our new normal. What is wonderful about this site are the many survivors who continue to share their experiences and support.

Look at the postings on the general board for odds of recurrence/great quotes - we had a very productive exchange on our insights and fears and you may find it helpful.

Regards JoAnne
