That elusive five-year mark is just around the corner, and believe me, I've looked forward to it for some time now. Maybe I've deceived myself into thinking if I could just make it to the five-year mark, I'd be home free, and that a recurrence of cancer might somehow pass me by. I've done everything I could to stay under the radar. I've followed the doctors' instructions to a tee, but why do I feel the need to prepare just in case?
I'm not one to borrow trouble and I certainly don't want to spend my days worrying, but I keep feeling like something's just around the corner – something I won't like.
