I think the wondering is absolutely NORMAL!!!!

It's been exactly 2 yrs since I was Dx'd w/bc and I can say that for me, I have reached a point I thought I never would... I really don't dwell on the cancer as much as before (Sometimes I would not sleep because "it" was all I thought about). Now, I actually can go through the day (and night) without the feelings of depression and gloom. I stay busy and focus on living.

I feel I have done everything I possible could to get rid of my cancer. I was super aggressive. And I am still convinced that lumpectomy + rads is as good as mastectomy.

I too posted a message similar to yours about 1 year ago. So, I am also convinced that the worry is again, NORMAL.
