Janet,
just to say that all is very normal regarding anxiety, horrible menopause , moods swings , pains and aches etc... Also don't waste precious time thinking about how there are others worse than you. We are all different and we must all deal with it in our own way. Don't push yourself, don't rush or go crazy on dieting etc... I will be 2 years next February , and one does learn to move on, but every 3 to 6 months check -ups will bring on the anxiety ., as it will be the reminder of your bc. I am not an artist, but like you I do love painting , and I keep active with gardening, walking , game playing and the computer.
Make everyday count and make the most , but on your down days, just give yourself permission to relax and accept that it is all part of having bc. Life will never be as before, but in time you will get used to the NEW NORMAL , and find that it can be quite good !! I find that I no longer worry as I used to about things in general ,and that is a bonus . LIFE GOES ON !!
Best wishes from one of your BCNA sister ,
love
