Very strong anxiety and worry

Hi. I suffer from anxiety and have been a career for about 1 year for my husband who has copd and has been diagnosed with two tumours on his lungs which, because he can't have normal radiotherapy he has been going to a London hospital for treatment. On Thursday I had to go and have my three yearly mammogram , and explained that my husband will most properly be going into hospital end of this week for more biopsies and mentioned my anxiety waiting for results. I have been having really bad with anxiety since the mammogram since last Thursday the 9th , dreading somebody ringing me, and saying I have to go back etc. All negative I know, but that's how I feel I feel sick all the time my legs keep giving out and heart racing, I keep thinking what if I have to go back how I going to cope the way I am , I am under so much stress at the moment, my daughter told me not to go until the new year, but I just done it as I know I will still have to go through the some anxiety next year. Any help or advice will be appreciated.i have some diazepam if things get really bad, Thanks.

Hi Bluegirl, I'm really sorry about your husband. My heart goes out to you. You sound like an amazing woman caring for him. But, that can take a toll on even the strongest people. I went through a very difficult time a few years ago needing three surgeries in a two year time span. I was so afraid, and started having panic attacks just waiting for the doctor to call. Xanax got me through that and I don't need it anymore except to fall asleep at night. I know it's very scary and hard to deal with, but you can handle this. I also read my Bible when I need to divert my fear to something comforting. That helps a lot. Jesus is always there for me ,and He is there for you too. If you believe in Him, He will carry you through the difficult times. I will pray for you and your husband. Much love, Carol
