Hi there, I haven't had chemo my sister did some years ago. Perhaps it's because your feeling vulnerable? I've always been a strong person but after my emergency op I suffered terrible anxiety and panic. I didn't want to go out!! And when I did I wouldn't look at anyone because I didn't want anyone to talk to me!! It was horrible. So you having chemo is bound to make you feel vulnerable, I hope your not feeling too unwell, i hope the feelings pass soon. Is there a councilor you could perhaps talk your fears through with? X
