Fear manifests itself differently for all of us. When we were young, it may have been the mysterious, scary monster hiding in our closet or under our bed. Part of life is handling uncertainty. We can feel so alone during these times. When diagnosed with breast cancer and then learn it has spread as well, it feels as though the lurking monster is back.
Overcoming fear takes extraordinary courage.
Toni , Gladys , Irene , Liz and Linda tell how they meet that challenge. I think you can only get scared to death just so many times. You know, I've been terrified so many times that after a while I'd wonder how I'd feel when I'm re-diagnosed. I'm wondering can I be scared anymore than I've already been. I'll probably go into shock and stare out of the front door and do the same thing all over again.
