I am surprized by how much Elizabeth Edwards recurrance has affected me. I can't think about anything else, and suddenly feel very insecure and "at-risk". I am only just past my second round of TCH and I know my odds of long term survival are great, but still, this really hit me emotionally. I have been in battle mode since my dx in January, and maybe is just a bad time, but still I was surprized by how much it affected me.
