The anxiety after another week has become crippling. I don’t get out of bed most days until 4 or 5, eat and then go back to bed around 11. I am trying medicine and therapy but nothing is powerul enough to address my fear of cancer. This is my own hell now.

Maybe try Lexipro. I have been on that for a while and it helps me. I’ve never had any side effects from that drug.
Yes, please find medication that will work better and possibly a better therapist that works mostly with cancer patients and has extensive experience in that area. Try also yoga and meditation with breathing exercises. They can work wonders for anxiety ! Just know that there IS a help out here and that you do not have to live with that debilitating fear. Do you have any friends or family nearby that can help you in person or at least be sympathetic "ear" via the phone. Talking about a problem and fear and letting it all out is very beneficial. Do you like pets ? Maybe having a small dog or kitten can help also.

Some people do have this problem with anxiety.
They solve it by getting on a drug that can take away the anxiety and bring back a normal world.
You probably have access to a psychiatrist through your medical services because you have cancer, Find out about it and see if you can get something to help you with this anxiety.
These are Common drugs for depression and anxiety that people have said helped them return to normal After describing feeling like you do now.
Wellbutrin Zoloft Effexor Buspirone, cymbalta
