Joy, it made my day to see your wonderful smile and hear of the JOY in your life! There will always be worries and concerns for us as you well know, but cherish the joyful moments. I pray they may increase and continue for you! I have found in my many years of fighting BC that we notice and stress over so many things, some worth our concern and some we should ignore. It is so hard, and we do need to be alert, but sometimes we just need to let go after we have done all we can. I have this quote framed on my office wall (and I try hard to heed it!):
Do not be overly concerned with what will happen tomorrow. The same loving Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day.
Either he will shield you from suffering or he will give you unfailing strength to bear it.
Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.

That said, I might add that I also agree with all the wonderful people on this board who often remind us to be our own health advocate, to stay on top of it all, and insist on our concerns and needs being met, not ignored.
Sometimes if you aren't making waves, you aren't kicking hard enough! Please let us hear from you more often. We care a lot about you, rejoice in your good news and empathise and pray about your concerns. Hugs, Tricia
