Hypnotherapy for anxiety

Hi Hedera welcome to the forum. Is this something that you are considering? Counselling is also available at most Cancer Centres if that was what you were looking for.

Thank you Granny59.

i am trying a combination of things, recognising that learning to live alongside worry about things which may not happen, and coping with things which do happen are inescapable aspects of the cancer journey. 

Hi Hedera, When I was diagnosed I had severe hospital anxiety and an absolute fear of medical interventions and procedures. I found a local clinical hypnotherapist. She had previously practised as a GP. It was a suggestion made by one of the nurses at Breast Cancer Now. I had four sessions. It was  quite expensive, but she was very generous with her time and I found her medical knowledge and support really helpful. I also found mindfulness and meditation techniques helpful too. The telephone support from "Breast Cancer Now" was invaluable. I was also referred to the hospital clinical psychology service and was given regular appointments throughout my treatment. I think it was a combination of all of these things that got me through. Not forgetting the most amazing care I received from my surgeon and my breast care nurse who went above and beyond to make my journey as doable as possible. Sending you love and very best wishes. x

It sounds like you sourced some wonderful support which worked really well for you. 
thank you for sharing all of this x
