Anxiety, Panic & Phobias

Anxiety is so high it's driving me nuts.  Three more chemo treatments and I'll be done.  At that point I should know if I'm in remission or if the end is near.  I'm so scared, all the time I live in fear.  Constantly afraid I'm going to have another breakdown.  Tried the cancer board but they offered me no support.  I do have a small support system here but could sure use more which brings me here as for years you all have been my salvation.  Sure need you now I'm so scared.

(((K))) I am praying for you in this stressful time. It must be very hard facing the chemo & the uncertainty of the outcome. There are some things in life we cannot change. That, for us anxious folks, is the most difficult posistion to be in. Hang on to your faith. Is there a cancer support group near you? When my ds was diagnosed, a social worker visited her in her home to allow her time to talk about the fears of uncertainty. That was scheduled through visiting nurses. I hope you have access to something like that.

I care & want you to know that I wish you much strength & the very best! GBU! jan

  

  

 

((((K))))......I've been away for too long and now I have no idea what is going on with you honey!  First and foremost, I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with chemo and I wish you nothing but healthy healing vibes....

I will pray for remission and hope you can stop those treatments real soon.  Jan is right- keep your faith honey.  Believe...you can get through this!  You are a strong person and have been through so much already.

Its funny that you say you got no support from the cancer group.  There are very few groups on this board that have truly made a difference in my life and this is definitely one of them.  You can always come here for a group hug, right Jan?  I wish there was something more I could do for you, but I can offer you my shoulder and a listening ear.  Always here for you honey.  Stay strong!

Jan and Stacey Thank you ladies for being here for me.  I knew I could count on this group to just offer me hope and prayers.  I'm holding up well all considered.,  I found out yeaterday I lost 3 friends I made in radiation.  Upset me quite abit as the one seemed so in remission.  So one never knows.  But I'm kind of stubborn and plan to fight this  with all I have in me to fight with. 

Jan right now my best support group is you all and my best friend and some of her friends I've become close to.  They help alot. 

Had my chemo yesterday and the "devil" shot today so i"ll be down by tonight.  I'll be back on when I can.
