Anyone else feel depressed and anxiety after treatment has finished and just having regular scans because it had gone i cant understand it fought it for five years
You have had 5 years of being poked prodded and monitored, it’s natural you feel the way you do, now that safety net is gone. There is no reason why you can’t keep in touch with anything cancer support related including this site.
There is also the Maggie’s Centres, they offer counselling which might help with your transition. If you don’t have one near you, they offer telephone counselling.
I can imagine you might feel a bit bewildered now that you have done the physical fighting. Although nothing prepares us for the emotional rollercoaster, I think I would feel pretty bewildered once it actually stopped. This is bound to take the shine from your success.
I truly hope you start to feel better soon, remember there are others here to prop you up, so glad you reached out, it’s a difficult thing to when you feel the way you do xx
Thank you so much for your reply it means alot to me xx
