So I've been "cured" of Stage 2B breast cancer for seven years (YAY!), but why do I still not feel "healed" (BOO!) Every mammogram, every visit to the oncologist, now every visit to the cardiologist (A/C, Herceptin), every aching bone and muscle...I'm fearful and angry and generally unhappy.

I've tried to find my own answers and work through these feelings myself, but I'm slapped in the face by another doctor's appointment, another test. I'm not one for religion, so that's not an option.

Have any suggestions for healing? Any books to read?
