I had a tumour a few years ago, it was cancer, took it out had no follow-ups and they said I was clear. Every pain in the area it was, every new thing that is ‘wrong’ in my body, my mind jumps to worst-case-scenario. My tumour was rare, even rarer that it was found and removed with surgery, and every doctor missed it. I fought. Now, every change, every feeling, I keep thinking it’s back, it’s the worst thing it could be, it’s too much. I’m scared every day and it’s so hard. Anybody else feeling like this?
Hi Elleab2, Perhaps the following information may help,
It's a booklet regarding worrying cancer may return.
You can find all sorts of information on help link above
I know how you feel at times I still have 3 monthly scans after 5 years and it does get to you between the scan and the rsults, hopefully your all clear and aches and pains are unfortunately part of the boby's healing process
Take care Tony
