I am potentially nearing the end of my treatment but cant stop worrying about life after what if cancer returns. I remember before cancer I would always worry about getting and now I feel this fear will be worse. I just dont understand how to stop worrying its like cancer can reappear anywhere so its like im stuck living on borrowed time maybe i get a week or a month or years its like it always comes back . I spoke with another patient who had it reoccur numerous times its the same with other people i spoke to i feel like it was pointless undergoing the treatment if im just going to end up with a worse form of cancer later.
Hi Waquar66 and I'm glad to hear that you're reaching the end of your treatment.
I don't think it matters what type of cancer you have had the worry about recurrence is always there, you just have to find a way of dealing with it. It might be helpful for you to post this in the soft tissue sarcoma group, which I see you've joined, as there you can discuss this with others who will know how you feel.
It might also help to talk your feelings through with your GP as he or she may be able to refer you for counselling. You could also look at this information about ways to get support in your area. Simply type in your postcode to find information and support centres close to where you live.
