it`s been 13 years now since i got the all clear but still the thoughts and stress still haunt my life, this canny be right surely it must go away

  • Hi there ...

    From everything I've learned , after cancer, the fear of it comming back never really leaves ...  we just have to learn to live with it , when we get head aches and pains... it's always there sitting on our shoulder .. but we have to realise no one is promised tomorrow... there's lots of things we can get ... and every day we worry about it is a day wasted ... try to live in the day ... and I'm affriad it's just life ... we can't live every day in fear ... or we miss living ...

  • Hi. 

    As chrissie says the thoughts keep coming back, but the main thing is get on with your life as near as possible to normal. 

    We know every odd ache and pain makes you wonder. 

    I'm bit different to you i was diagnosed Feb 2016 I'm on palliative care just living with my uninvited guest i know one day it'll give me a very big bite I've had a few small ones. 

    But i get on with my life and concentrate on the now. 

    I'm also a carer for my disabled wife she needs 24 /7 care she has Alzheimers and parkinsons plus other problems.

    Please just live your life best you can and try to ignore something that might never happen even one day at a time and make sure they are good days every one of them. 

    Alot of people on the forum have the same problem it's just our new life and our new way of living. 

    Try to treat cancer how it deserves to be treated with contempt, your body and your mind can be strong then you can live your life as it should be.
