To think why can’t I just get over this?

I was diagnosed and treated for cancer during the pandemic and although I don’t know if treatment has worked it looks like things are going in the right direction.
Why can’t I accept this, why do I constantly fear something is wrong, why am I so scared to go back to work, why am I living my life waiting for something else to go wrong.
When will I ever feel normal again? When does the constant worrying go away?

I’m 7 years on from cancer.
Those initial months after treatment were worse than the treatment and diagnosis itself, constant checking, every cough, cold would send me into a tail spin. As time went in my appointments at hospital reduced, that was hard, I was previously going to the hospital every week, it was my safety net if I was concerned. That was the scariest, Loosing that comfort blanket ( if that makes sense). I promise it does get better, It’s always in the back of my mind but you do move on and the anxiety does reduce
