I tried to prepare myself for the worst case scenario but when told I was clear of cancer I felt no relief at all. It made a huge difference to my children but it's not over yet. Oncologist tomorrow, ultrasound in 2 weeks and then CT scan again in 3 months.
I've thought a lot about dying and the more preparation you have and the more notice you get the better it is for everyone. I would hate to die suddenly and without reason. I feel that as shitty as things can get if you feel that you control your destiny then it's easier to bear.
I'm still crying with you.
