So, I haven't been here on a while. Around a year ago I posted my panic over lymph nodes (I still have them, same size.) In the last year I have gotten help for my anxiety, and I was getting better, until recently.
Last July my mum was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. Because she had 1 positive lymph node she had to do chemo. Plus radiation, and hormone therapy.
I dealt with it fairly well considering my issues with anxiety. I think it was because I blanked everything out, and never really dealt with it. Well, recently it has hit me, and I've become depressed.
I'm scared her cancer is going to come back in her organs, and she is going to die. I feel like I'm the only one in my family taking it seriously. I spend hours and hours researching breast cancer prognosis and recurrence rates. I can't believe it has taken a year to hit me. Somehow I numbed it all out, but now I'm not numb.
I'm only 20, and this whole breast cancer thing scares me.
Its upsetting as I thought I finally got rid of my anxiety, but now its back.
I'm not sure what to do about it anymore, its getting out of control.
