When you get there play down your symptoms and worries in an effort to get out again ASAP!

Then when you get home realise you still have the exact same worries about your health?

I just can not bare to talk about my health and well being, due to shame about my weight I think I don’t want to be studied, and concern that I might find out something bad again, also I always think the doctor must have much more important stuff to be doing than looking out for me, what a nightmare.

I have spent six+ months worrying my hip pain may be a cancer recurrence, lost sleep, written out funeral suggestions in a special envelope addressed to DH etc.

My consultant just called for my check up and I said ‘no no I’m fine thanks, well just a bit of hip
pain but that’s probably my home working desk position, no no cancer related concerns’ Hmm Shock

Does anyone else do this? How do you get round it?

Oh op sorry to hear this. Worry about cancer recurrence must be very common. There is a really good talk by Dr PHarvey After the Treatment Finishes What Then, that touches on this I think, will try and link:
