I lost my mum to uterine sarcoma this April. She had been perfectly healthy her whole life and very careful with her diet, exercise etc so it was obviously very shocking to us.
In addition to the huge loss, grief and trying to cope without her, I have found that I have become very anxious and paranoid about my own health. Every day I feel I have symptoms of something serious, particularly cancer and find myself googling symptoms. When one thing seems sort of under control, I feel like another symptom has appeared. Has anyone experienced this after losing a loved one to cancer? I feel paralysed by this and having trouble focusing on other more important things.
