When my mom was diagnosed with cancer of the breast, bones, spinal cord about 4 years a go my world came to a crashing halt. Her prognosis was grim, but here we are 4 years later and she's still with us. I am so grateful that's the case. But I find myself constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. She is not in remission but has not had any significant spreading or growth in the past 2 years, yet I still find myself constantly in terror that anyday she could find out that it has started to grow again. Any ideas on how to get rid of these terrible fears would be much appreciated.

I don't think doctors can really tell how long someone has for sure, there are many influences, a friend omy family was diognosed with cancer and was given just a short time and someone told him to practically live on beetroot and carrot juice, freshly squeezed, and he did and I mean he drank heeps of it and he is still alive years later, plus there is always hope and positive thinking.

Thanks for the positive response. It's sometimes hard to remember to keep hoping.
