When can I stop worrying?

Last year, following a routine mammogram,  I was diagnosed with cancer in both breasts.  After numerous scans etc - underwent mastectomy of left breast and lumpectomy on right.  Then had radiotherapy and now on hormone drug for 5 years. Apparently,  lymph nodes clear. I should feel lucky - after all it got caught early enough to be treated.  So why am I now turning into a hypochondriac? I worry about every strange pain or ache - my doctor has suggested blood tests as I am so concerned.  I don't want to feel like this. This is really not like me and I so want to just be me again. Feeling so low a lot of the time.

  • I totally get this as I’m pretty much on the same path as you.

    I have contacted my doctor for this as it’s affecting my sleep, concentration and appetite for life in general, they put me on an antidepressant but this wasn’t helping my sleep and now they put me another tablet which I haven’t got a clue why as it’s not been explained to me by the doctor. Anxiety is through the roof and all possible side effects of Letrazole which I’m now on a break from ti my reinsision op on the 16th due to margins not being met! All this is causing anxiety and confusion. I get you!!!apparently we got this!!!!!!

  • I have been changed from Letrazole as it was giving me so many unwanted side-effects. I don't want to be put on antidepressants.   It's hard but helps to feel I am not alone xx
