I have been depressed prior to my breast cancer & have not been OK with any of what has happened but now I’m so bad I can hardly function. It seems most people expect you to be fine now treatment has finished but I’m worse than I’ve ever been. My dad died during treatment, it’s taken months for me to surface slightly from all the treatment, I ache all over, my legs hurt that much at night it wakes me up,my feet hurt, my arm hurts, my breast hurts, I feel dizzy, lose my balance. My memory is very bad. And the fatigue I have is immense, I can’t do anything without feeling exhausted. Plus I can’t stop crying 😔 My GP had given me medication to relive my anxiety but it doesn’t help. i feel about 80yrs old & wonder if I’ll ever be fit again. im supposed to be back to normal & because people don’t understand unless you’ve been there it’s hard to understand. Needed to say all this on here because it’s what I want to say everyday but I don’t. Thank you for listening 💞

Jaybro - Thank you for your explanation of the Infusion & how you felt afterwards, it's good to hear your feedback. I too don't like the side effect information when as you sympathy they are rare. I will definitely take something beforehand to help me through it or I won't be able to go. Thank you for your rational, kind reply. Which along with the others I will read over to help me cope. I write them down in a pad as my mind takes over & the panic is horrendous. Thanks Jan 💞

Jill1988 - thank you for your kind reply, it’s good to hear I’m not alone with this reaction. Being kicked in the guts is exactly how I feel. It is early days for me -it’s about 18mths. Thanks again. 💕

Joemic, it’s great to hear that you had no side effects from your Bisphosphonates & that others had doable side effects, thank you for that. Think your right that I’m more worried about what might happen. Thank you for your reply, I wish I could be more sensible at these times. 💕

Jaybro, thank you for reply. Great idea about the pill cutter I'm getting one ! I haven't taken one yet as even though I'm desperate to ease my anxiety I'm scared so I'm going to do the pill cutter way & ease my way in. I've been trying for months to get some medication & it's only now I've got something. I'm finished treatment Surgery, Chemo & Radiation now - during treatments I fell apart - the hospital have me Complementary Therapies Team & the CALM team & as good as they are it didn't help me any. I've been in such a bad place for 18mths so I do need to try these tablets. Thank you again for your caring & clear reply. 💞

Hi Delly - it is used for high blood pressure as well. it also deals with panic attacks & anxiety it slows heart down apparently. you can take it if you feel very anxious on the day or if you don't feel to bad you don't have to take it. and can take it up to 3 times a day. thanks for reply Delly.

I've been prescribed Propranolol 40mg by GP today for severe anxiety. Has anyone on here had/taken this & did it help ? GP told me it is a beta blocker - after waiting for this medication I am now wary of taking it - Me & my usual anxiety ruling everything as usual. Would like to hear from anyone who can help. Thank you

Jaybro thank you for reply. In my panic I never thought about due to my medical history that GP would react immediately so thank you for that. GP phoned me this morning & explained to me in detail how the blood tests I had work & helped me to calm down somewhat. I've more than likely got slight anaemia & we are going to stick to the six weeks as arranged, as all other blood tests I had were fine. I have also been prescribed some medication to help me relax which is what I've been waiting for. I'm hoping they work. I appreciate your clear & understanding post that helped me. 💞

Hi All - Had some blood tests done last week & my blood count is just very slightly under normal range - GP said to have another blood test in 6 weeks to check this rather than considering it to be abnormal. I'm now seriously panicking & my head is swirling round & round. I'm thinking that the blood count is slightly down because the cancer has spread, plus the fact that GP said abormal. what reasons could be causing this as my blood count has always been ok before. I'm so anxious in general that every tiny thing affects me like this. I can hardly breathe & keep re-reading the letter over & over. Please can any one help.

Evie - Thank you for your reply 💞 Went to hospital today for a 6wk check up, had a bit of a chat with him and he examined me. I have discomfort & tightness in operation area & also worried some about the scar tissue under my arm which feels tender & a lumpy bit that I don't like. So he sending me for Ultrasound !! He is also referring me to Psychiatrist, he said he thinks I need to & it should help me a lot. Thank you for the book recommendation I will look into that. Also thanks for Jobey68 post - which is very true. Also love the quote - our thoughts are not facts, they are just thoughts. Appreciate you taking the time to reply with such kind, helpful words at a time when I need them so badly especially from someone who knows first hand. I will message you personally later if that's ok Evie xxxx

Hi Evie-S, Thanks for replying. I finished treatment in May, I haven't been able to get counselling but I did see a mental health nurse which didn't help at all. My dad died in February & I only got to see him when he was very poorly & struggling so never got to talk to him as it happened so fast. Even though I've been told I'm cancer free I'm so worried about the cancer returning that I'm finding it hard to think of anything else. Then I'm grieving about my dad as well so I'm so depressed & sad. My head just spins & spins - feels like I'm going mad. xx
