Re: I sure could use a pep talk
Once we have had cancer it is natural to think everything is cancer related. But we are elegible for "regular" ailments too! (altought I think we should be exempt!).
In my case, I developed intermittent shoulder pain and it turned out to be a torn rotator cuff.
I know it is so hard not to worry, but "it is or it isn't" as Mtngrl said. So just try to stay in the moment and save the worrying for when you might need it, if ever. And keep the faith.
