    I also want to add that this

    I also want to add that this is all day long, I want to jump out of my skin. When I go to bed it lessons enough for me to sleep but when I get up it comes back and it is wearing me out. 

  • I can relate

    i was diagnosed in July and I am treated with Keytruda. I have rapid heart beats on and off almost daily and I also have anxious moments. I meditate and pray which helps a lot. If you are overly anxious you might want to tell your doctor and maybe he could give you something for it.
