Anxiety, lack of sleep and endless crying

Hi Debsta, just wanted to send you a hug as it’s rubbish when you feel so low. I understand how you feel about burdening friends. I think it is tough for people to understand the ongoing effects after treatment has ended. Have you tried to find a local support group? I don’t know where you are based but your hospital or GP or local hospice might offer something? Or is there a Maggie’s centre near you? I was referred to my hospice and they have been amazing and offer all kinds of support. There is also a great place in London called Future Dreams and they run lots of sessions to help us cope with life after treatment including body image - some of their stuff is online, so might be worth checking out. 
Scan anxiety is horrible - there is a lack of support once all the treatments end and we are left to process everything we have been through and get on with ‘normal’ life. Can you get out for a walk - it always helps me - maybe with your daughter? Some fresh air and exercise might help you sleep better too. 
Hope you feel better soon x 

Many thanks for your kind words. A Maggies has opened recently nearby, I am waiting for their psycologist to start in February. I might give my local hospice a try. Enjoy the remainder of the season x 

Hi Debsta do give the paper here (I’m going to find a link to post) a read as it’s really helpful and explains lots of the feelings you are struggling with. The post-treatment stage is really tough till you understand more about it. I had to read it a couple of times and still refer back to it now and then.

also, if your hospital subscribes to the ‘ROSETA’ trial which is for certain types of bc after acute treatment ends, that is incredibly helpful too. I know they are still recruiting.

Many thanks for your advice. Will definitely give it a read x
