We are 2.5 years out and I can honestly say I still struggle with this. We will have another PET scan in June. The closer that gets the more the stomach hurts. It really is the new normal and I had to talk to our doctor about something for the anxiety. I needed it more in the first year than I do now, but even now I am very happy to have it.
Please know what you are feeling is normal and it is great that you are reaching out for advice. Please look into some counseling or at the very least some meds to help. And stay in touch!!
Hoping you find some peace,
Kathy
