I just passed my 4 years of survivorship after the stem cell transplant and have an upcoming Oncology appointment. This ALWAYS makes me nervous. I am 14 years out of the first chemo/radiation and was always nervous before the recurrence as well. I get this pit in my stomach and feel like everyone is looking at me, wondering why this young person is sitting in the waiting room. I am considering getting more genetic testing done in regards to my future risks for other cancers like breast cancer. But knowing what a worrier I am, this may make things more scarey each time a doctors appointment comes up. It is much easier to forget about it and not worry which is how I live most days.
I watched the Bucket List last night. I would highly encourage everyone to make your "bucket list" if you haven't already. I already have some of mine marked off: go to Costa Rica, marry a man who is my best friend, become a mom, sing Karaoke, and so on. Next one to mark off is travel to Africa (September 2009). It is a work in progress and ever changing. : )
