recently one of my dear friends received a call back from Breastscreen - instantly my mind returned to May 2012 when I was told I had cancer. I have told her not to worry, not to overthink, just wait for the appointment. No point being anxious over what might be nothing.
Hah ! Can I tell myself that ? I have been cancer free now for 6 years, and yet I still worry every time I have an unusual pain, a different kind of headache, feel more tired than normal. I am incredibly anxious again right now. Does it ever stop ? I met a school friend recently with her mum, 40 years cancer free - momentarily felt totally ok. But I can't get that back at the moment : (
Note to self: read the mindfulness book, look at photos of grandchildren, colour in
Thanks ladies
