Statistical Oddity :
I definitely do the “focus on the next step only” one when I’m stressed but need to be taking action. Another is telling myself that the anxiety I’m experiencing *is* appropriate for the situation, I’m not overreacting, and it’s common to feel this way (this can help with the scanxiety). And of course the breathing 😮💨 always the breathing (a couple different ways just to give myself options)

Stephanie, 2026 Bride :
as someone going through stage 4 colon cancer, the biggest thing for me to help stay calm and not panic is to focus on whats happening now not the whole picture at once. so right now, focusing on chemo until surgery.

since septembre everytime i see a doctor is bad news.... i don't want to see another doctor ever! i am traumatized so much that in my 24th radiotherapy session i almost had a panic attack because the technician asked me a question that was out of my daily safe routine of going in and out.

Cancer is a tough one for sure. Telling myself how I feel out loud helps. It can be tired, scared……. Even if you have a support person; it helps to admit “stuff” to yourself.

Control what you can and focus on what’s currently happening now and those next steps instead of spiraling on what could happen or what did 🙏

Are there options to just do immunotherapy? The reason I ask is I have a family member who has high grade uterine cancer ( p53, positive progesterone, mss stable, her2 positive). There may be other markers but I can’t remember them. They did the surgery, but she has two spots on her lung. She doesn’t want to do chemotherapy but she’s willing to explore other options and is willing to do immunotherapy and even hormone therapy but they basically limited her to just the standard of care (chemo and immunotherapy but not immunotherapy alone) and it’s very confusing for us because we thought we would have a choice and it doesn’t seem like we do. Do you have any suggestions? Are there other options ?

I listen to my favourite songs, even dance when I feel good and write down my thoughts. All these help me so much. Greetings from Greece 🌞

Trying to focus on what’s next… but my referral to cancer centre was lost for a week until my dr found out and refaxed it. Now I’m waiting for the phone to ring to find out next steps. The wait is driving me crazy. Anxiety is thru the roof. I’m trying to stay calm bc I’m being watched like a hawk by my family to make sure I’m ok.
