[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1563186, member: 94045"] I had almost 17 months of cancer treatment. They threw the kitchen sink at me, and I was grateful. Exactly 12 months after cancer diagnosis and around 4 months before my treatment for cancer completely finished, I was diagnosed with T2. Wonderful! So now I had even more medical appointments to keep and even more anxiety. I threw myself in to controlling my diabetes because I could do this. I spent so much time researching, learning, and most of that on this forum, that I almost totally forgot about my cancer. That was January 2014. I still don't think about my cancer. The only time it crosses my mind is when a review mammogram is pending (my last one will be in December this year) and I get a wee bit anxious. I have several friends that went through treatment at the same time I did, and almost all of them still worry themselves silly about the cancer, thinking every tiny ache and pain is a sign of spread or recurrence. The anxiety makes them ill. I have diabetes to thank for steering me clear of this anxiety and for giving me that kick up the bum I needed to get back in shape. [/QUOTE]
