Hi Natz I know what you mean, after I had treatment for breast cancer I worried that every ache or pain was it coming back. I had treatment in 2013 so a long time ago. It does get easier it really does. Are you still monitored by your cancer team, because if anything is wrong they will definitely pick it up. I know easier said than done but perhaps now focus on your diet and exercise regime so in order to minimize any reoccurrence. Also maybe give the nurses on here a ring as they can signpost you to some support and reassure you that this is a normal feeling. I wish you luck and to let you know that you are not alone in feeling this. Hugs

I have found CBT very helpful in terms of dealing with anxiety. Available on NHS via GP but I don't know how long the waiting lists are. Of course available privately if you can afford it
Maggie's Centres might be worth a try. Google fir more info.
Hope that helps
