Re: Does the anxious feeling ever leave

Dawn,
I am not the best person to ask in that I tend to "run" anxious anyway. Having had cancer certainly has added to my anxiety. The advice that Mary Anne and others gave was wonderful. And I agree with Caya completely. Do not be shy about asking for something to help with your anxiety. If you have a good internist, you might start there (or find one) as that individual should be responsible for "tracking" any and all meds you are taking and coordinating things with your oncologist and other doctors. Talking in a support group or with a counselor who deals specifically with cancer can also be very helpful (in addition to MA's advice to "get out there").
Best,
Karen
