Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

It's been just over a year since I finished treatment for Ewings Sarcoma and they said there was no evidence of disease. I'm still constantly anxious that it's going to come back. Especially since with my age group and location, the overall 5-year rate was relatively low with a significant chance of recurrence. I remember when they initially found it I could not stop overanalyzing and researching. I spent countless hours looking at studies and articles but all that did was make me more anxious. How do you deal with all the anxiety?

I just want to sleep and drink my juice

@chris1848, worrying about cancer returning can drive one crazy, especially when looking at statistical odds and over-analyzing. Sounds like it might be time to focus on NED (no evidence of disease).

It can also help to talk with others. You might appreciate this discussion:
