looking to the future

hi everyone ,, I,m. new to this just like to ask anyone how to deal with the constant fear I have of recurrence I have ct scan coming up this is my second one after having surgery in January this year for stage 3 kidney cancer. does it gettter better after each clear ct scan I can't get the thought,s out of my head that the cancer will come back that it,s a foregone conclusion I just want to get on with life 

  • Dee, just carry on doing what you would normally do.  Cancer, once you have had it probably never leaves your head.  I had my operation 13 months ago, have had 4 scans since then, with another tomorrow, and its with me always.  But, I have had 5 holidays, lunches, dinners, days out - and sometimes I lay curled up on tge sofa and cry.  I suspect our lives will be full of mixed emotions, but let us try to make the most of it.  However scary it is!  x

  • yes your right I think everyone that,s had cancer seems to go threw the same emotions I get on with my life when i was diagnosed I just thought lets get on with it thank you for your reply hope all go's well for you.
