Hi Christine,
Thank you for your post. No, I do not want my oncologist to do all kinds of tests. I am comfortable with her choices as I think I'd go nuts with this test and that test and all the false positives along the way. But, thank you for recommending an alternative if I weren't comfortable.
What is hard to be comfortable with to me is just the learning to live within our "new normals." I am getting better at it but life will truly never be the same for me or any of us and THAT is the hardest part for me to accept at times.
For now I am cancer free and will rejoice in that. I feel great and look forward to many more healthy years. Possibly never a recurrence? But, only God knows what will be for me and for all of us SO I try to rest in that and take it as it comes.
Thanks dear "sister" and God's Peace be all of ours today.
Marejo
