Hi - haven’t been on here since just before my Chemo started, I couldn’t cope with reading anything that wasn’t positive as I was so panicky & terrified.
I’ve done the Chemo now & about to start Radiotherapy next week ( I think ).
I’m still as anxious, terrified as I was at beginning, tried to get counselling but it clashed with appointments every time, and I’m still waiting now.
Your hospital should have an oncologist-psychologist ? I started taking anti anxiety meds ( suffer badly from anxiety ) right after DX and has been enormously helpful getting me through surgery and chemo they upped dose recently . Am on waiting list for hospital counselling too … hope some of this helpful
