I was in remission for 10 years and into my 3rd year of ABC. I found as each year ticked over I didn't think much about cancer and put it to the back of my mind. Above all I did not want it to be the focus of my life. That said, i ate well and exercised a lot and always kept my medical monitoring up to date. As the time goes by the fear factor can diminish and living a good life becomes the priority. I don't feel my efforts were wasted as they contributed to my overall well being during the 10 years. Above all enjoy life and still enjoy that glass of good wine and quality chocolate!
