Hello,
it’s been some time since I have felt the need to reach out for support. I am 61 years old and have suffered health anxiety from my early 20s. I have had so many different health anxiety from stomach aches, throat issues and the list goes on….. my biggest fear is cancer and unfortunately I did get breast cancer almost 5 years ago and had chemo and radiation and on blockers. My current issue is I have pain in my breast and I am petrified the cancer is back, my anxiety has gone through the roof! I have scans booked in early Aug but that’s not soon enough for me. I am currently having time off work because I cannot function, crying all the time and just cannot get negative thoughts out of my mind. I am really struggling and grateful I have a very understanding husband.
In the past I have tried so many different therapy’s but none have worked for me.
