It never goes away

It just never goes away. It's there and it's something that you have to deal with. I go back twice a year to get checked for my mammogram, twice a year for the rest of my life. That's what the doctor recommended. I was told that after five years, if you could stay cancer free, you're good for life. Well, after five years, I heard on the TV again they moved it up to ten, okay. So its ten for me now. Every time I get a cold, a headache, or get sick I always think its cancer. I can't help it. That's the way I am.
