> In my case, at least, there are no thoughts involved whatsoever. The preoccupation is more like a distracting "sense" or "feeling" of there being some sort of unfinished business that needs to be attended to. You can;t focus on the outside world because the "magnet" draws you back; but when you try to consciously pinpoint the source of the vague preoccupation, you find you can't identify it. So it remains lurking back there, always knawing at you but never subject to identification or resolution.

>I am a member of this club too. But reading that this is no doubt common to alot of us helps me realize that there is really nothing wrong, it is just the illness looking for a place to land. This is going to help me to be able to not pay attention to myself. On the other hand, there won't be any crafty cancer able to sneak up on us!!
