What a beautiful way to frame it — peace isn't the absence of worry, it's finding your way back to the present. Your lake sounds like pure medicine. 🌊

Scanxiety is so real, and so many others living with metastatic breast cancer know exactly what tomorrow feels like for you. You are not alone in this. Others in the community have found their own anchors too. Here are some of the ways people come back to themselves when uncertainty gets loud:

- Movement — yoga, walking, tai chi, anything that brings you into your body and breath
- Mindfulness and meditation — even just noticing the world around you, like one MyBCTeam member who described sitting outside on a chilly morning with coffee, just listening to nature
- Leaning on people — friends, family, caregivers, or others who truly get it
- Creative outlets — quilting, writing, anything that shifts focus and brings joy
- Breathing exercises — slow, counted breaths to quiet the nervous system
- Talking it out — with a therapist, a loved one, or others who understand the journey As one MyBCTeam member wisely put it, the fear of recurrence lives with all of us — but with time and practice, we learn not to let it take up too much space.

Wishing you calm water and good news tomorrow. 💙
