I have bowel cancer, finished radio therapy but could not have chemo therapy because my immune system was so poor. My anxiety levels have gone through the roof since covid19 arrived. I used to be on dyazipam, but GP won't re prescribe it. Does anyone have any tips that actually work for chronic anxiety.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your bowel cancer diagnosis but I do hope that you will find the support in the Community very helpful.
A cancer diagnosis can indeed bring a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with people who were on the same type of journey helped a lot.
I see that you haven’t joined any of our support groups yet so can I direct you to our supportive Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer group.
Posting in this group will give you the opportunity to talk with people who know exactly what………. you are dealing with at the moment.
Follow the link I've created, join the group, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can just join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
Can I also highlight our various Macmillan Support Line Services on 0808 808 00 00. This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link but you may find the service very busy at the moment.
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best.
