Fear of recurrence

Fear of recurrence refers to the anxiety or worry that a health condition, such as cancer, might return after treatment. It's a common response among patients who worry about their health and future stability. This fear can cause ongoing stress, affect daily life, and influence decision-making, even if there are no current symptoms. While some concern is normal, persistent fear may require support or strategies to manage anxiety effectively. Recognizing and addressing this fear is important for overall well-being and quality of life.
