Does anyone else struggle with it and keep feeling sick i forgot to tell the doctor this morning when she called me Doreen
Hi Doreenw
I often find that I need to right down a list before medical appointments as sometimes I can forget things that I wanted to talk about. Maybe try that next time? It works for me.
I think a lot of people struggle with anxiety and depression these days. I would suggest contacting your GP again and talking it through. There will be people on here that do suffer with mental health but they naturally focus more on their cancer. Sometimes people do bring it up though.
Do you feel that your anxiety and depression is caused by the cancer or is it something that has been going on a while?
Do give the Support Line a call if you feel like you need to talk to someone. They are there from 8am-8pm daily.
Outside of those hours if you are struggling there is always NHS111 or The Samaritans.
