I have bowel cancer, I've had chemo tablets and radiotherapy for 5 weeks , finished 2 weeks ago, but I'm still  very fatigued and anxious. I keep goggling even though they have told me my cancer is curitive, I don't know what I'm doing to myself. If I stop googling about cancer I wonder if the anxiety might ease up. Anyone else in same boat. Hoped I would feel better with treatment out the way. I would go out and meet a friend for social distance coffee, still fatigued.

  • Hello

    I'm exactly the same. Always on dr Google and I frighten myself to death. I find its worse at night and first thing in the morning. Covid isnt helping the situation as we cant do the things we want to. I'm here if you need a chat.

  • Hi Julie

    i have recently had a diagnosis which I think is similar to you. Her 2, hormone negative, lymph node involvement. I've had a mastectomy and just waiting to start chemo.

    I don't feel I'm coping very well and wondered how you are doing as you are a bit further on with your treatment than me.
