I completed radiation and chemo treatment four weeks ago. Two weeks ago I awoke to a pounding heart, a pit in my stomach and waves of anxiety that have lasted 2 weeks. Yes, it isn't as bad as it was at first, but during treatment I was strong, in a positive frame of mind and breezed through. I have since discovered that this is a very common thing post treatment. I become overwhelmed with negative feelings and asking "will I ever be okay". I used to travel a lot before this, but now fear it as I worry this anxiety will hit me and I won't be able to control it. I have a Psychologist now, and use strategies to lessen the anxiety, but whilst you're in it, things seem so glum and worthless. I'd love to hear if others felt this post treatment, and if it passes.
