The one year anniversary of my diagnosis was November 1. I am feeling vulnerable too. I worry about all the what ifs....what if I do have some stray cells growing. What if they are in my brain. What if I'm one of the patients who doesn't respond to Herceptin. At the same time I am down on myself for worrying. I think I should be grateful, thrilled with life, aware of every wonderful thing, etc. After all, I've been given a second chance.
Maybe this is a stage we pass through. Is this post traumatic stress?
