Do you live in constant fear of a cancer recurrence?
I am 27 years old and last year at the age of 26 i was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am now cancer free, but i am so terrified and afraid of having a recurrence that i can't even be happy about being cancer free. I have talked with my family and a close friend of mine and they all tell me that i should think more positively and stop worrying over things that i have to control over and cannot do anything about. They say even if i do have recurrence there is nothing i can do and that being depressed about it will not change anything. And that i need to just move on with my life. I am afraid that once i try doing this, i will then have a recurrence and be completely devasted. My doctor has told me that if it comes back again that it will be uncurable. i am just the type of person who just don't like to give my hopes up.

I live in constant fear what can I do?
I cannot sleep as I am scared of been attacked and when I when I do manage to get some sleep I have nightmares. I am also petrified of failing my course at Uni as that is the only thing I seem to be good at and consequently will not take time off. Does any one have any advise? Apologies I know this is a rather odd question but I do not know what I can do.I have also been visiting a councillor for a year now and have CBT but nothing is working.Sorry I forgot to mention on the above post that I do visit my GP every 2 weeks for check ups.

Does anyone else live in constant fear of something happening to their child? How can I stop this anxiety?
My only son is 18 now, and it seems to me that all his life I have almost been unable to relax and just enjoy parenting because I love him SO much I am scared of losing him. From meningitis and cot death, through school bus trip accidents, and now night club stabbings and car accidents. I know I sound completely over the top anxious...I am I have never really told anyone else how I feel inside, but I it is constantly in my thoughts and colours everything I do..I never feel I can relax unless I know where he is, and he is safe. I am NOT an overbearing parent he knows I worry, but not to the extent I do, and it certainly does not curtail his life. I just feel I am living on a knife edge waiting for something to happen.Wow, thank you SO much for you responses. I am not alone. And it really has nothing to do with recent publicity Madeleine etc I have been feeling like this for 18 years. I guess it just comes as part and parcel of being a parent.
