I've read reports that said that basically all cancer survivors (and happily there are more and more of us each year) have some degree of PTSD. (I believe the LiveStrong Foundation, Lance Armstrong's group, has done studies on it.) As other have said, don't be ashamed of what you're feeling and do seek help as you need it. Having cancer is hard and surviving it can be even harder. You are definitely NOT alone!
