Good to talk (hopefully) - I decided to stop treatment after scan showed my melanoma cancer wasn't active. I'm struggling to cope with the anxiety - any ideas?

Hello

I am a 77 years old man living with Melanoma cancer. I have had two years of immunotherapy and following a PET scan that showed nothing active, I decided to stop treatment. I still have scans and have restarted dermatology checks. My problem is anxiety and how to cope with it. Hopefully some of you might have some ideas.

Regards

Hi Llanwalker

Im sorry you are struggling. I would speak to your gp to see about some therapy. If you dont want to do that, macmillan and other cancer charitys offer therapy. Also i find things like yoga, being in nature or breathing exercises all help. Xx
