Afraid to finish chemo
This will sound crazy but with 7 taxol to go - 4 dose dense AC and 5 taxol behind- I am afraid to finish. People say to me ‘you must be just wanting it over’ and I can’t explain that actually I don’t....

Hi ddon,
Know exactly where you’re coming from.
I finished chemotherapy last July and Radiotherapy last October.
I like you was very anxious and felt like my safety net had been taken away from me, like you I thought whilst this evil stuff is being pumped through me I’m going to be ok.
Im now 6 months post Chemotherapy and feeling better all the time, Had first mammogram in December had the all clear after diagnosis and treatment.
I felt much better after the first check up.
Keep yourself busy with things you love to do, stay around positive people, I’m finding even now that meditation is helping me enormously.
Speaking with a therapist is an excellent idea, as like you I don’t want to burden my family with more.
Talking here is also a great way to express your feelings as we understand.
If you want to pm me we can also speak privately as I’m not that far in front of you and have just recently been through those emotions.
Stay positive as it does get better, give yourself time to adjust it does get easier.
Stay in contact with your BC nurse, you are never alone.
Sending hugs xx
