My health anxiety is through the roof

Hi :)) 

I've posted on here quite a few times especially when I'm worried (as per usual haha), but a little back story, I got told I was in full remission back in April after being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma stage 2 in July last year, twelve sessions of chemo and my scans were all clear. 

It's been a month and a half since I got my results back from my last scan, and I was fine for a while now I'm back in the mind set of worrying about every little thing I feel in my body. I still have lumps on my rib cage, from what I'm guessing are indeed fatty lumps since I had them during my scan and they didn't show up cancerous (just like clear on the images ?? i don't know how to describe them aa) and I dont have any of the symptoms I had back before I was diagnosed, but there's something nagging me in my mind that something is wrong :| 

Is it normal to be like this? I want to get on with living but my anxiety is so bad, I can have an itch on my scar from where the lump was and I immediately think it's something wrong. 

It's like I've completely forgotten what my body felt like before all of this and I get super paranoid even if i feel a bump/lump that's just fat or muscle, I try to talk about it to my family but they just tell me it's nothing and it doesn't really help. 

I'm sure i'll get out of this mindset once my check up bloods in August come through fine, it's just horrible going through this mind set alone 

  • Hi

     

    I don't have Lymphoma but am in remission from an autoimmune disease which has left me with stage 4 chronic disease which involves regular check ups and monthly  bloods. You are still in early stages of  recovery so would think it's pretty natural to be anxious about even probably minor things.

    Best wishes
