How long have you been cured or no evidence of disease (NED)?
The anxiety monster is creeping in bad today my friends. I am stuck in fight or flight and have been for a long time. I am 53 y/o female and I had a wedge resection to remove a stage 1A1 9 mm adenocarcinoma last August. My doctors are saying that I am "cured". There was no other treatment needed. Since then I have had 4 clear scans and everything "looks great". As a result however, I have developed severe health anxiety mainly around cancer and recurrence and PTSD. I am in therapy and have a psychiatrist. I am trying so hard. My husband died unexpectedly in 2020 and I lost my mom in 2023. Just feels like I have been hit in every direction. Im posting mainly to vent but I sure could use some positive stories from survivors who have had no recurrence and are living positive lives. I could use a lot of prayer right now. Hugs to all who have had to go through this hell.
