        I totally know how you feel. I was Stage 1 in May. Wide excision And lymph node clear. But I still have such incredible anxiety. I just had treatment for AK and it was biopsied. Everything came out fine but today at my recent three month, the dr requested two more biopsies. I know that she's beening proactive and cautious but I just hate feeling like I'm not healthy. I know my prognosis is very good. But I understand feeling vulnerable. I also feel extremely guilty complaining about my health when I could be much worse off. I've tried counseling but sometimes the anxiety and waiting really take a toll. I'm trying my best to enjoy the holidays and wish the best to you for the upcoming year!!  Just wanted you to know you're not alone in feeling vulnerable.
