Do you ever stop thinking about cancer?

[Aussie Girl]

I'm starting to find I'm not thinking about cancer, that is my own cancer, constantly now. I think about cancer at work because that's my field of work. I have so many other things to do and to worry about. Certainly the "death threat" aspect is easing. The side effects that are still with me bring it to my attention, but it's a low grumble rather than buzzing anxiety. May be the chemo brain effect is my friend in this??? I do tend to play the "forgive me it's the chemo brain" card when I do sometime ditzy.
Cheers

When I think of bc, I think of the awesomeness of Life.

I marvel at the blue sky, the grace of each tree. I am gentler than ever with others, knowing everyone has their battle. I love more and talk to strangers as friends and that's how thinking of cancer has manifested in my life.

As for the chemo brain, Diane, you know me. I have supplements to help me focus. Age has a way of filling our heads with so many factors we find ourselves doing the simplest and routine of things wrong, as our thoughts are way ahead of us.

Even my forty something kids find that there's so much input in this world these days, and they have little ones to care for, it gets pretty crowdy up there in our heads. Life is more complicated than ever. Never boring...
