Hello ladies,

I know there's a similar discussion in the Living with Cancer group, but I thought it would be nice for us to have our own. How are you all doing?

I'm in remission right now so not going through any treatments, but I've been being careful and social distancing with the family since my immune system may still not be back to where it should be. How are you all handling all of this craziness? Have your treatments been rescheduled?

This has all been hard on me mentally, I've been so anxious anyway that the cancer would come back, and then now I'm worried that me or my family will catch it. Trying to stay positive though and do other things to keep myself busy! emoticon heart

Hi i have lots of anxiety. Drs tried me on lots of antidepressants only made me wotse. My sons dont let me see the grandkids. I have tried tms cbt now getting ect. Anyone have bad abxiety and was able to get it under control? My friend said she started cbd. Anyone who knows how to control the anxiety please let me know. I am 3.5 years stage 1b pcp says i am over reacting it was so small. I would like to learn how to stop being soo anxious. I pray meditate try lots of stuff but somehow cant turn off the fear. Plus my family are all very fearful and so i xant get too much support from them. Anyone know how to take medsvti stop the anxiety. I got to the point if swimming again but now had to stop due to quaranrmteen. Not sure if i will be tough enough to start again. Love you blessbyoubpraying for you. Take ativan .33 or .50 maybe 1x a day to help me stay calm. I need to get calm. Anyone with good idea let me know

@shirleyc Hi ShirleyC You are an inspiration and make my troubles seem small. You are in my prayers. You have already proved them wrong and I believe you will continue to do so. I hope the warm weather has gotten to you, I know every day the sun shines the day seems a little happier. We all need to concentrate on those little thing that can brighten anyone day over the sad and bad things or the things we are worrying might happen and haven't. e can't shut them off but we can try and try and watch a bird or see a butterfly and put more importance there. Thank you for sharing your story. leidemoss

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
