Jan 12 will mark 2 years since DH cancer journey began. Life feels almost (dare I say the word) normal again. DH starts a new job Dec 1, which will be much easier on his body and a better salary. Our 6 kids are doing great, we bought a much needed new car, etc. We recently lost DH dad due to a massive stroke, and are dealing with the loss as he was a great man and we were close to him. Ok, so the problem is scanxiety. On Dec 7 we will find out if cancer has returned to disrupt our lives, DH health, and peace again. Its weird because i really deep down feel like he is cancer free, but i almost dont want to believe it, am scared to believe that our lives can go on. And Im terrified of the future if there is a recurrence. Anyhow, just want to share with people who get it.
