Hang in there and breathe slowly.

Your brain doesn't have enough working GABA so your thoughts are scary. When your brain heals you will be able to avoid or ignore these scary thoughts.

 

Many of us have neck pain in wd. Mine hurts often. But I know I don't have cancer. But being afraid of cancer is very real in wd. You are not alone with those thoughts.

 

Do your best to distract and to keep telling yourself that your brain is "wonky" and is healing.

 

Hope you can find something to do today to distract yourself.

I had thyroid cancer 8 years ago. And to calm you down I had no pain or symtoms. Hope this helps you relax.
