Entry: What was that??? Feb 25, 2005



One of the biggest problems with being diagnosed with Cancer, is distiguishing between problematic symptoms and normal everyday bodily functions.   Not a day goes by, when I don't feel my stomach and think to myself "am I more bloated today?" Or I have a twinge in my side and I think "What was that??? Could it be the Cancer spreading?"  It is constant and it is annoying.  I would love to go back in time and not be so overly concerned about my body.  But I tell myself, that I have to pay close attention because can't let any sort of signal or whisper go unnoticed or unheard.

I am now constantly listening, especially on a day like today when tomorrow I will be going for routine bloodwork that can confirm my biggest fear, the fear of reoccurrence that I live with everyday.

And Jen, good luck with the blood tests. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

If I get the slightest bit gassy, I think the cancer has come back. It's a sad day when a girl can't even break wind without thinking her body has turned against her (again). I have a hard time remembering what it felt like before, too, so sometimes I wonder if I am feeling something I felt when I had the cancer. Blech. I hope someday these fears won't be so strong.
