Cancer & PTSD

This article (the bottom of the newsreel) hit home in so many ways, I too was diagnosed with PTSD. I flipped my calender today to find a trip to Boston coming up at the end of October and of course I felt anxiety. My diagnosis was shocking, I was inundated with information about the treatment and side effects. I was heartbroken to be away from my daughters. Treatment, illness and isolation became my new reality. Then, the news of the stem cell transplant! At that time I was in survival mode, ready to do whatever it took to be well again. Almost a year after transplant the memories overwhelmed me and the anger was too much to handle, I had to ask for help.
