I finally pulled out of that by writing myself a “strategy” that put me in a better place. Some minor anxiety has crept back in over the past couple of weeks. It’s very difficult to know that in my case, according to the oncologist, I have about a one in three chance of the cancer returning. It is scary but I just hope that with all of the ongoing advancements in treatment, if mine does come back, it can be successfully treated.
