afternoon all

Hi Doreen

Is your anxiety connected to your previous cancer?

Or is it more general anxiety?

If it is connected to your cancer what is it that is making you feel anxious? Is it the worry of recurrence or something else?

Jane

probably about my anppmt in September for a check up 

I think most of us get anxious around check up time. Its natural but its good to have the checks and hopefully will be all clear. 

I tried to think of the checks as a positive thing as they are keeping us safe and if the worst happens and there are signs of recurrence then they are catching it at the earliest stage and then it is more likely to be treatable. 

yeah I Kown im am trying 

I was always nervous before hand but felt relieved after they were done. 

im anxious all the time even before getting cancer i think its made it a bit worse 

I think any previous mental health issues are bound to be affected by a cancer diagnosis. Its a stressful thing to go through. 

yeah definitely
