Hi @HawaiianLau 👋,
Thank you for opening up and sharing your experience—it's incredibly brave of you. 💖 It sounds like you've been through so much, and navigating the mixed messages from your doctors must have been so stressful.
You're definitely not alone in feeling this way. Many people find it challenging to manage the lingering anxiety and stress even years after treatment. It’s also frustrating when medical professionals don’t provide the reassurance or support you need.
Let’s start a conversation around this:
- Have others here experienced similar struggles with anxiety or uncertainty after cancer treatment?
- What has helped you regain a sense of control or peace of mind?
- Are there specific support groups, activities, or tools that have been helpful in coping with stress?
Your experience might resonate with so many others in the community, and together we can share ideas and offer support.
Take care and know that you’re not alone in this journey. 💕
Warm regards,
Somya from the Carenity Team 🌸

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.

breast cancer stage 1b no chemo 3 years of anestrozole drs not supportive so i’ve been anxious since then. how to build myself. after 5 years oncology with ned ditched me and i asked if i would be ok and she said “ id never say that cause im chinese and supersticous. so 6 years later the next dr said oh when you had the surgery you were cured. so why tell me now, should have told me before. now that the damage was dione why tell me now. how do you stop the stress from coming back? dr said just live with it. get in a group where you can get support group.
