Hi AS, sorry to see you're still struggling with HA (I've been away for a bit) big hugs, eh?
Youth is no longer on my side.
Me neither, but there's another way of looking at this and it's that I am fortunate enough to have reached 50. My mate didn't so I count my blessings, you know?
What's happened to those ladies is incredibly sad, but their story is not your story.
Cancer doesn't come and go; that's just not the nature of this particular beast as I'm sure you will have been told numerous times. I know it's easy to say, but be assured that this is simply your mind playing tricks on you - again.
Sometimes you've just got to show fear the door lovely because that's what this is. It's not real. You don't have cancer. You do have a mental health disorder though, and you need to put all your mental effort into that, not into imaginary diseases that might never happen to you.
Can I ask, how did your friend cope with her diagnosis? Reason I ask is that my friend took her cancer diagnosis by the proverbial balls and gave it a run for it's money. She spent many happy days with her family and made some very special memories. Often, it turns out that we're far better at dealing with what's real, than what's not. X
