Re: Do you ever stop thinking about cancer?
I know exactly how you feel. I had the same concern. Cancer owned my every waking moment, it seemed. But now, I never think about it. It's as though it happened to someone else. I know that it has changed me forever and given me some attitude adjustments but they are part of my "new normal", my fabric. But I don't fret about it or dwell on it anymore. It's behind me
I think we all go through a process of stages. I'm sure it's normal and you are where u should be at the moment. But it will pass and one day you'll realize that you haven't been thinking about cancer. And it will be very liberating!
Keep he fsith
