Good Morning Brenda....

Just wanted to offer you a hug this morning and also my support and MORE importantly my understanding. I remember being a little over a year out - herceptin done - etc. Those days my friend were scary times. I thought I had a recurrence everyday.

This too shall pass....I promise. Try to do what I did when those awful fears would surface. I'd tell myself "ok self......for right now as far as you know you do not have cancer.......live in that knowledge - live your life happily. God knows your tomorrows and He already knows your tomorrows so try to rest in the now." Often times, that would get me through a day more peacefully and next thing I'd know (sometimes after a test to determine whether or not I had a recurrence) it would pass......and then we'd move onto the next ache or pain

!!

Brenda it does get easier. As the others have said, it is normal and it's part of the process.

Sending up prayers for your comfort and peace today dear sister.
