I have extreme anxiety, to the point I throw up daily. I take my meds but I’m trying to relax on my own. It’s so hard because I have to go back to work.

Severe work-related anxiety that leads to physical symptoms like vomiting can feel overwhelming, especially when managing cancer treatment alongside everyday responsibilities. While medication is important, combining it with relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or gentle movement can sometimes help ease anxiety symptoms. Consider discussing these severe symptoms with your healthcare team, as they may be able to suggest additional strategies or adjustments to help you feel more comfortable as you transition back to work.

Ask your oncologist to prescribe 90 mg of Cymbalta for bone pain and a low dose of Xanax 25 mg. It may help your anxiety. You are going through major stressors!

If you’re part of a faith community, ask people to pray for you. It’s been an amazing way to keep me calm for 6 years! Ativan is for anxiety, and it helps me sleep at night. 🙏

I have had stage lV MBC for 10 years. Been through Chemo, 4 different rounds radiation, ibrance, Zometa and Letrozole. PET scans every 3 months with Natera blood draw for tumor markers. I started my journey 2016. In 2024 I found out I have PID with CVID. Short tor I do not make plasma. My immunoglobulins do not work correctly and wears out my T-cells. Started plasma infusions 2 years ago sub-q every week. FAITH has completely helped me get through some of the most difficult times. My son in law which is a minister gave me a book of daily devotional by Billy Gram. It has been the best gift I could have gotten. I use it daily with prayer. When you have faith- fear can not survive. I have been on this app for 4 years now. It warms my heart to take a moment to read your stories and know I am not a lone. Prayers have carried me through my most darkest times. I pray for each one of you. That you get answers and the tools you need to fight everyday. 💕💕🌸🌷🙏🙏
