It has been harder for me since I finished chemo in April, I have anxiety attacks often. I was diagnosed stage IV in December with 2 small lung mets which went away quickly on chemo. I am now NED but worry constantly about it coming back and going through the nightmare again. I worry most for my 8 year old daughter. My doctor scans me every 3 months and I like it like that. That way any aches and pains that I have are put to rest and I don't have to worry indefintely about them. I do feel like I am living 3 months to 3 months though. I just don't really like the wait till there's symptoms approach because I had absolutely no symptoms, if I had waited for symptoms I probably would have been eaten up with it. Yes, getting scanned so often is very nerve wrecking but I appreciate the peace of mind I get afterwards...as long as they keep coming out clean...
