I'm so pleased to hear that you've been in remission from CUP for the past 2 years. It's great news.
It's natural to be worried that it might come back. I think a lot of our members here will be able to empathise with you on this point and I hope that some of them will reply to your post to share their experiences and tips for coping with you.
There are ways to cope with feelings of worry and uncertainty so that you can continue with your life. Even if these feelings don’t completely go away, you can learn to manage them.
Start by focusing on what you can do now rather than what is out of your control. You might want to try talking about your feelings, getting support or focusing on your well-being. You may find that some situations can trigger worry. If this happens, it’s a good idea to talk to someone about your concerns. This can help you avoid getting into a habit of always worrying and make you feel you have some control. You might find some helpful tips on our website here.
If you'd like to talk things through with one of our team of nurses then you're welcome to give them a call for some advice and support. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
