Hi Carolynne, I can really relate to your situation, I went through head and neck cancer 3 years ago, had Chemo and radiation. I was clean for 3 years, told my Onc. doctor that I was feeling dizzy, she ordered a P.E.T. scan and turns out I have NHL B cell stage 4. When I was getting over my Head and Neck I had trouble sleeping, I was always dreading the call from my Doctors after a routine exam. I was taking sleeping pills to help me sleep. After awhile it does get easier. I have found that it is a waste of time to worry about something you or I have no control over. When I found out I had cancer again, it really didn't surprise me. Time to put on the gloves and start swinging again! Enjoy your life and your family!!!!Vinny0 -

I too go through periods of time where I'm ok, then I start freaking out again. I think just about every day for the last 4 years my first waking thought is I have cancer, just these days it's more of passing thought instead of all consuming one.
I am on my third bout with this crap and now in maintenance rituxan. I am having some instances happening and can't help but wonder what's going on. There have been a couple times in my life when they started checking me for MS and THAT almost freaked me out more than my NHL.
I go for my next treatment in 2 weeks and this stuff always rears it's ugly head about now LOL.
Take care,
