As all of my readers know by now, I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 2013. Today is actually my 4 year “cancerversary”.

I recently wrote about Fear & Anxiety, but I realized that I left out some crucial parts of what it’s like for the people experiencing the anxiety… especially the ones with an anxious mind and giving heart.
