I've finished chemotherapy and radiotherapy 3 or 4 wks or so ago. Find out in 7 wks if the treatment has been working. The first two wks after were bad for nausea, stomach issues and tiredness, not so bad this wk or so just mostly tiredness after doing things ie doing laundry.
Everytime I have even a slight ache or twinge somewhere my mind races to 'there must be something else wrong', I must have another cancer...
Today I sat in the garden too long and got a bit of sun burn and now I'm paranoid about skin cancer.
We booked our honeymoon to Mexico last wk and now I found myself googling where the nearest hospital is to the hotel incase something happens when I'm there...
I find myself fixated on every stomach rumble incase it's the start of some serious side effect I haven't had yet, that they warn you about when youre first diagnosed.
I think my question is will this fear and constant feeling of being a "victim with something wrong with me" ever really go away??
I just want to be my old self. Hopefully when this scan isn't looming over me and I have answers one way or the other, will I feel better?
