Jack also holds things inside way too long and I know that thin line very well. What you are saying makes perfect sense and we are dealing with it too. People seem to want to hear one extreme or the other - either you're sick or you're better. They don't understand the world in between where it's never over and you're living with uncertainty. That's the other reality of being cancer survivors - we're always trying to decide if we should be worried about one thing or another because we can't tell without scans or exams. I think you just chalk it off to some days go better than others. Glad to hear your wife is getting more perspective on it as time goes on.
Regards JoAnne
