Hi everyone, I'm quite new to this, its taken a long time for me to look for support.
In Aug 2016 age 28 I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and after 6 months of Chemo I was confirmed in remission in April 2017. After spending several months, in what can only be described as a whirlwind of trying to make up for lost time and prove myself worthy of surviving, I finally felt I could settle back into a normal routine.
After 2 years of remission I found my anxiety levels rising always worried it would come back. I constantly set myself goals, as a distraction and try re training my thoughts but recently I'm finding this isnt helping.
I'm hoping that there are people who have experienced HL who can offer advice and share their experiences on living after the treatment is over.
Sorry for the long post
