Re: Consumed with fear of recurrence
Focus on your strength and happiness. It is so easy to get caught up in the fear. Each day we must wake up and choose to live this day we have been given well. Your prognosis is excellent based on your stats and as you can see many others are doing well who started in a worse place. Thank goodness for research and the wonderful people who participate in trials! May you blessed for many years to come.
