Hi
i just need a bit of help, I am 5 month post op of right upper lobe, caught the cancer early, but have a major fear of it recurring, I’m am due my 6 mth CT scan next week but feel like I’m falling apart , I’m putting on a brave face at home 
I have bad anxiety, I don’t know how to cope, I’m menopausal, can’t take HRT which I think is making it worse, I have insomnia, it’s all getting a bit much 
, any advice would be much appreciated x
Hi Sarah71, it really is an awful feeling, waiting for scan results. We all know too well what that feels like. Have you spoken to your doctor about your anxiety? Maybe he can prescribe something for you. I take amitriptyline for my anxiety, and it also helps me to sleep.
Maybe stop trying to put the brave face on at home as well. Talking about your fears does really help. You said in your first sentence, they caught the cancer early, hold onto that thought. xx
