Hi Melsie97, I think that the fear of the cancer spreading is a natural reaction and something that we all can relate to and have all experienced. I was diagnosed May last year and must admit that I do think about the cancer spreading but not on a regular basis. I think with your diagnosis still being fairly recent (I'm sure it mustn't seem like it) and the fact that you are still dealing with treatment, your concerns are totally normal particularly as you have your 2 beautifuls to consider as well. I think if you are feeling or start to feel that you are totally consumed by your fears then perhaps some counselling might help. Cancer Council 131120 have a telephone service that could assist and may help to allay your fears or at least minimise them. Wishing you all the best with this. Xx Cath
