Hi Magicmum
Well firstly congratulations on reaching 60, I am really enjoying my 60's it seems that finally I can say and do what I want within reason of course. secondly I am pleased that the Tassie bushfires let you unscathed but of course very sad for the town. I have lived in tassie and know what a fire can do.
Now to the dreadful "what ifs" in my experience these feelings haunt us as time goes by. I have come to welcome them as it means i am here and i am still able to feel and with experience I know they will pass. Survinving a diagnosis of Bc is not as easy as it would initially seem. We ride an emotional rollercoaster of 'what ifs "and the fear of recurrence. I have taught my self to allow the feeling to come and go, if i feel bad, well that is as it is and it will pass. If i feel good, that is as it is and it too will passs.
So be as kind to yourself as you would be to a very dear friend in the same situation.
Find something wonderful in every day and enjoy every moment.
