Hi there, I'm new here too. As you are so early in your remission journey I might suggest some kind of therapy to deal with the constant thinking about the cancer returning. I didn't get that (12 years ago now) and I feel that I have suffered (hypachondria) since. Maybe see what Macmillan has to offer or some other type of anxiety therapy. I know I should have had some myself (still think I might get some now). Do it soon, don't leave it because I have found that although the anxiety does lessen its still there in the background. I think if you deal with it and have some coping strategies, you will fare much better than I did. I think your outlook is so good and although I know its hard to be positive, I think you should take great comfort from those very low odds that you have been given about the cancer returning. I wish you lots of luck and love

Hi I just joined tonight after my husband showed me an article in the newspaper. Had ovarian cancer stage 1a muscinas had total hysterectomy appendix and 30cm cyst removed on April 19th. Didn’t find out it was cancer until 10 days after surgery even surprised the doctors as they didn’t think it was cancer have been told surgery has removed it all so no other treatment is needed and will go back every 6 months for next 5 years. 1% chance of getting it anywhere else which I know is good news but just can’t feel positive some days I feel so miserable and stressed and angry fed up you name it I feel it. Hoping these feelings will get less in time constantly thinking if I don’t feel great could it be cancer again.
