  • Hi twocats- well done for getting through chemo! Cancer treatment is not easy and it can cause anxiety, there’s a lot of unknowns isn’t there. When I was going through treatment for breast cancer 2020/21 what got me through it was talking to friends and family, using forums like this, speaking to McMillan nurse. It doesn’t help if you’re not sleeping well, are you able to nap during the day? I worked part time during my treatment which helped with my mental health but I needed time to rest too. I don’t think there is one specific thing, perhaps talk to your GP too? Stay strong and good luck with future treatment.
