i know your fear...i've lived it. breast cancer survivor...in remission 5 years now. thank you so much for your post.
i have some unsolicited advice for you from a hard-learned lesson. take it one moment at a time, and do let your mind get ahead of you. i know that is easier said than done, but doing the "what if" thing will make you crazy. it is impossible to not think about it, but if you can focus on "what is" instead of "what if"...it might help.
