Hello everyone, I’m still very new to this site and am lucky enough to say that currently I am cancer free. I only had thyroid cancer, which I realise how lucky I was that it was this type and was removed during surgery. My whole journey has been whirlwind which I have put on my profile my story for those of you who want read. 

my trouble is I think I am struggling to come to terms with the fact that I did have cancer let alone the fact that it is now gone. I am so anxious now for any further cancers and am so aware of any thing different going on with my body. I recently keep getting lymph  nodes come up in my armpit which are easily visible and then they disappear again this alone is making me anxious that it’s back but now somewhere else. I guess what I’m trying to get to here is how do we ever go back to normal life? Do we ever live life again without so much fear and anxiety? 
I hope that makes sense, sorry for waffling on. Hope everyone else is doing okay.
