That niggling little thought

I love watching 'Chasing Life'. It brings up all the issues that us cancer people have to cope with and its about young people with cancer. I can relate, I just didn't have the support group they have.

This week's show was about that recurrence thing. Where April deals with recurrence issues. She gets a bloody nose and then a bruise and then the anxiety and the depression when a friend gets a recurrence. And there's more that I wont share so you go watch it. (Great show.)

But if you have ever been diagnosed cancer you can relate to that recurrence thing. The 'what if' or, actually the 'when', depending on your cancer's stage. Living with cancer means learning to cope with the niggling little thought of recurrence.

Face it, that is what we are all doing. We are all trying to manage that niggling little thought so we can live our lives as best we can. And that's all we can do.
