Bowel cancer fears, surely not again.

Health Anxiety is just the worst thing after a cancer diagnosis. After two previous diagnosis, surgery and chemo I'm sick to death of all the massive worry with every ache or pain. I had vertigo 6 months since and was convince the cancer had returned in my brain, a scan showed a thickening of my womb lining, I was convinced it had come back in my womb..... now I have new discomfort in my side/abdomen so off I go again... I saw my GP and have been referred back to my consultant who has got me in soon. I hope this is a false alarm but I am so fed up with this, I feel like i'm living under a black cloud.

Anyone had similar experience?

  • I'm so sorry you are feeling so low and anxious. It's only human to feel anxious but please don't let it ruin the life you still got. Try to enjoy each day as it comes. Enjoy the little things like the cup of tea or coffee you are going to have, the next meal, talking to a friend or acquantance, having a chat with a stranger in the supermarket, inviting someone to watch a DVD with you on a cold weekend afternoon.

    Don't let that ********* spoil your life.

    There are things we cannot control, such as how long we are going to live, our health, what happens next... this afternoon... what happens tomorrow... We are all mortal, no one is immune to mortality. We are all in this together, even if along different journeys. So, don't be afraid. We are human and can only deal with human things. Whatever is going to happen, we will deal with it, but only when it comes. One day at a time. No rush. No panic. No anxiety. Slowly...

    You may find that getting out from under that dark cloud might help a bit. Step out and do something you enjoy, plan something for tomorrow, have a break from the anxiety and postpone it for later... and again for much later... you don't neet anxiety now and there is always time for it later... As they say, no need to worry twice!

    Take yourself mentally to a better place. Our problems won't go away but we can choose when to deal with them.
