Ive got in a panic I had lung cancer diagnosed last November. Left lobectomy March this year on targeted therapy now for mutation. I got a respiratory virus and asthma attack 15days ago . My mind started to panic as this was how i was diagnosed for cancer with breathlessness. Ive spun out of control and need to contain the anxiety as its just escalating and getting worse. My husband is also not dealing very well with the situation.. Im normally very strong but this is really overwhelming to deal with
Hi there, sorry to hear you’re struggling. If u don’t mind me asking do u take anything for your anxiety? And if not might it be worth chatting to your GP about it. They could prescribe u something to help control/reduce your anxiety. X
