    Hi lizamarie 

    thanks for the reply I’m worrying beyond surgery and chemotherapy I’m worrying about it coming back and I haven’t even started treatment yet

  • I know it’s easy to say but try not to worry about something you can’t control what happens later down the line, concentrate on today and take one day at a time xx

    Hi lizamarie i am feeling more in control of what will happen next and feel like something is being done now. I feel less anxious having met my oncologist today. How are you doing?
