Re: Consumed with fear of recurrence
Dear Darlene, I can relate to feeling "consumed with fear" but Becky really spoke to that. Believe it or not, you will not always feel this way! You and I have alot of similarities (see my signature) and our outlook is good. Try to find the positive, hopeful things in life to focus on. Maybe put your fears into a journal and then close it for the day..Is there a support group you can attend? Mostly, keep the faith.
