One of the major drawbacks of having been very ill is that you always have a fear that your cancer might recur. So, whenever a check-up appointment gets close, you start to worry, and I'm quite prepared to have to deal with that sort of stress. What I hadn't realised - though I had been told by others who've had cancer - is that you also worry if you have the slightest unexpected twinge!
This week, I've had a sore throat which made me think I was starting a cold. Yesterday, however, the sore throat disappeared and I began to ache in unexpected places - mainly my joints. When I woke up this morning, still aching strangely, of course I began to think of all the awful things that this might signal. However, in the last five minutes I've started to sneeze and the sore throat has returned! So, nothing worse than a cold after all.
I do hope I'm not going to become totally obsessed with my health and turn into a hypochondriac...
