I had a hysterectomy more than 2 years ago and although I go regularly to the doctor for checkups, I cannot escape this feeling that it could come back. My doctor says that I have a very low risk of recurrence but that is always there at the back of my mind, and it makes me feel very low sometimes. How do the others feel? tHANKS

Hi @minnymom68

How are you today?

I think many people can relate your concern, it is completely understandable why you still get worried. I will tag a few other members who may be able to share how they cope.

Do you still have fear of your cancer recurring? Does your doctor or other health professional help to squash the fear? Do you do any activity to help calm your nerves?

Take care,

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.
