Had stage 1b lobular breast cancer : how to stop anxiety
After 7 years, stage 1b lobular breast cancer with constant anxiety. i had bmx, radiation and anestrozole for 4 years. no chemo i constantly read google and have not found a way to calm down despite taking antidepressants and i feel upset most of the time except when i go to sleep.
anyone able to get out of It? AI answers all the questions- not helpful. i want to stop reading internet, Anyone able to get better mentally from this situation. any better sources to go to. Dr just listens, they are irritated by my asking for help and i understand why. how to get off the internet and stay calm.
i need help. see psych but they say i have ocd they say it has nothing to do with bc.

Hello Kathy
I just read your story & I am sorry to say it, but ( no ) your Dr is right
there nothing anyone can do to stop the Anxiety. You just have to live with it my friend. I have Liver & Pancreas Cancer & it is in the blood there is no cure for it & I've been putting up with my Anxiety since the day I was told which is now just over 1 yr '. I've lost count how many time I have though about putting an end to it all together & the only thing that is keeping me alive is the Chemo treatment which is hell on it own
But besides that Anxiety anyone with Cancer we are all suffering from it so you are not alone my friend & I wish you well
