Knock on wood, so far there has not been a ‘what next’ in at least a month. So we are more than grateful for that. He saw his surgeon recently and he took an x-ray of my husband’s lungs – it was an all-clear. He saw his oncologist too and will not see him again until October.
Work the F(ear) out of Yourself!
Fear— it happens to the best of us. We’ve all heard the saying “fear is an illusion” but I don’t believe that to be true.
