Hi Bel91 - I don't think there is anything that upset me more than people telling me, "don't worry, you'll be right". I wanted to scream at them and ask how they could possibly know that! I realise that they thought they were being supportive but the most useful thing anyone ever said to me when I talked about how anxious I felt in the lead up to check-up times, "Given what you've been through, I can quite understand how frightening this feels for you. I'm so sorry you have to go through this." I strongly recommend that you look for a support group for cancer survivors in your area if that's possible, because it is in being able to share your fears and worries with others who have been or are still in the same boat as you, that will definitely help you to get through those challenging times. Where do you live?
