Re: Very Anxious
Hi Dawn
I to am so sorry you are having to deal with this.
Having to cope with this damn disease and carry on as normal is so hard.I know there are many others that have young children and are also very anxious. My own son is older and at university but the worry about not being there for your children stays with you as a mother regardless of their age.
When I had my recurrence Maryanne's words about thinking of it as 'an episode' really helped me through the chemo.
Staying positive and taking one day at a time sounds like a cliche but I have found that it is the only way. So some days are good and some days are filled with anxiety and fear and a battle to keep those thoughts at bay.
There is so much research going on at present to identify less toxic treatments that I feel shortly we will manage this disease like other chronic illness.
Hugs
Ellie
