Colorectal Cancer: Post Treatment 0-6 Months: Emotional Well Being: Stages II,III,IV

Talk with a professional mental health therapist who has experience working with people after cancer treatment if any of the following happen: 

• You feel like you're getting stuck emotionally.
• You have trouble sleeping.
• You are frequently teary or upset for no reason.
• Your weight continues to fluctuate.
• You lost interest in your usual activities and friends.
• You fixate on your cancer experience.
• You think you need it.

Check your insurance to see if mental health is covered. If it is, what are the limitations and restrictions?

NOTE: Especially during the first year after treatment, it is not unusual for anxiety and fear of recurrence to surface before doctor appointments and while waiting for test results. This type of anxiety may continue for a very long time. There are techniques available to help you through these periods.
