Feeling so lonely,

This cancer lark is hard work, I'm not coping too well,my Anxiety level is to 90, can anyone tell

Me does it get any better,or ease off,I just turned 50 this year and this has turned my whole life upside down,

I was diagnosed with lung and lymph node cancer late October,I'm due my 4th chemotherapy on the 2nd January,

I'm on 2 very strong chemotherapy s ,my body seems to be coping well,no major issues or sickness thank God,

I think my biggest problem is the scans after my 6th treatment,so worried to know if the Chemotherapy even touched the cancer,I'm wore out from the panic Attacks,I got mild relaxers from my Gp but not finding them great, only peace inget is when I'm asleep, can anyone help with advice please,

Ange!

    Il ask my Gp about them thank you,

    Yes Hun I can go out and do my normal every day things,I have the off day which is normal,

    But youl be able to carry on as normal,

    Chemo is not as bad as years ago,I'm on plexia for pain,make sure and use the mouth wash and Mycostatin for your mouth for a week after each chemo,as your mouth can get very very sore,xx

    mycoastin where do I get that from ? Is it a mouthwash. 

    Pain relief tramadol and the ampritline works for me. But obviously it’ll change. 

    Any Advice on chemo treatment itself and should I try cool cap different opinions I guess xx
