Nervous about health (3)
Hi there. My mom got cancer last year, and it's been a pretty tough journey. She had stage 4 lymphoma when they found it, and she's been going through aggressive chemo all year. It's been sad seeing her loose her hair, and her strength. She became so frail so fast. Luckily she's down to chemo every 3 months now, so she's slowly regaining energy and her spirits are high.

Since she got sick I've become very nervous (paranoid?) about my own health. I've had a 'precancer' diagnoses for cervical cancer, had to have an inflamed mole biopsied (which was clear, thankfully) and my doctor is nervous for potential colon cancer also (since it runs in my extended family and I've been having issues). I feel like a ticking time bomb. It's really scary.

So that's me right now. I certainly have a lot going on health wise. But life is good none the less. I guess it will figure itself out in time.
