I just had my check up and it turn out OK. I had chest X-ray scope down the nose. Dealing with the fear of it coming back for me fades in and out, while one is having a good time living the life to its fullest, the site or the feel of a tumor, can put one right back in toilet, I think its because of what we all went threw the first time, the thought of doing it again, or even hearing about someone getting it back makes me angry, and there is nothing wrong with being angry, sad or whatever else goes along with it.
Hearing my Doctor tell me the first time you have cancer, sent emotions flying all over the place. Hearing a second time I think would be somewhat the same as the first. I have a good freind who cancer has come back she is going chemo again having very hard time of it. Just buried another on Monday. I went fishing today, while I was out there I just came overwhelmed with emotions cried for about hour, I think it just all catches up then comes flowing out, I didn,t get any fish but I did feel better.
