Hello.

I am done with chemo, but I still am getting a lot of anxiety. Is this common?

Here too. Chemo was done 3 wks ago. I have restless leg, am anxious and depressed, lots of crying jags, poor focus, fatigue, numb feet and hands with poor balance and clumsiness. Lots of people say recovering can take weeks, months, even years.

Nice to hear from you. I'm noticing a little improvement in taste, stomach and bowel issues lately. Also the restlessness and anxiety have lessened. Not gone but a bit better. Still a lot of joint pain, especially lower back, but I had those issues previously. I can barely walk right now. Wondering if all the chemo and other drugs have made that worse. Still pretty depressed. When was your last chemo? How's it going with the anxiety?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
