i can completely relate to your post as I write this on my phone from lying on my bed with deep anxiety. I find it so hard to stay in the present and not worry about my mortality sometimes. It really is a constant rollercoaster ride. It makes me less self critical to read your post and know that I'm not alone. I do manage to have good days when my fears are not hounding me and I can do stuff that distracts me from thinking about having cancer like playing with the puppies at the shelter where I volunteer or making jewelry. Sometimes when I hear on the news about people dying suddenly from accidents or violence, I realize that people without cancer also face death but they didn't expect it so soon.
