3 days agoAnxiety about what comes after treatment is incredibly common and completely understandable - many people in this community share those same worries about the future. Managing pain during treatment can make these anxious thoughts even more challenging, so reaching out here shows real strength. Consider discussing both your pain management options and your concerns about post-treatment life with your care team, as they can provide strategies and support plans that help address both issues together.
