Emotional and scared

Hi Everyone, I finished treatment in May 23 for HER2 + Breast cancer. I was supposed to carry on with Herceptin injections every 3 weeks for a year but unfortunately these have had to stop, as it was affecting my heart. Now they are trying me with a new tablet for 3 years (designed for osteoporosis) along with calcium tabs. Everyone says how strong and brave I've been, but as fellow sufferers you know that's not the case. When i was undergoing treatment I was busy with appointments, or sleeping and generally feeling miserable. Now its all over I was initially very happy and couldn't stop smiling when I rang 'the bell'. But now its sinking in what I went through and I have a great fear now of the cancer returning. I wake up with a feeling of dread in my stomach and now I'm back to work its difficult to confidently do tasks I used to sail through. I am already on anti depressants so I don't want to increase those. Is there anyone out there who is feeling the same, do I need counselling or just to talk it through with people like this forum?

    I feel that as time goes on and your not at appointments and sort of out of the whole system you tend to think less about ot and it fades away on its own naturally, you will pull through and be back to yourself a lot sooner than you think xx love Lara xxx
