Re: Do you ever stop thinking about cancer?

No, I never stop thinking about cancer. After living an experience with cancer we tend to become oncophobic, but little by little you learn to control the thoughts and fears that come with it.

Re: Do you ever stop thinking about cancer?

Thank you all for posting! I am feeling reassured that I may be normal after all. I don't worry or obsess about having cancer but I do find that it crosses my mind at least once a day. Seems as though that may not be all that unusual.
Sarah, I have not yet completed treatment but I am nearing the end. I will receive my last Herceptin at the end of October.
I see my oncologist next week and will ask when I can get this d**n port out! It hurts tons each time they access it. It also hurts some most of the time. I know it is a necessary evil but I will be glad when I can finally get it out!
