    Hi lagerlime2011, 

    That's fantastic news that the last 3 mammograms were all clear. Keeping everything crossed that the 4th one will be too! Keep us updated if you get a chance on how it all goes on the 21st. I hope it's all going well with the Tamoxifen - not long to go now until it's all finished. 

    We love hearing positive inspirational stories like yours. 

    Best wishes and best of luck for the 21st,

    Hope it went well for you. I’ve  got my fifth mammogram since diagnosis tomorrow - feeling rather anxious

    Hi Lagerlime,

    I hope that all went well for your mammogram this year and that you can now heave a sigh of relief until next year, I'm sure that you are keen to stop taking your Tamoxifen too and I am glad to see that you don't have much longer to go with this. I stopped taking my hormone therapy (Tamoxifen, then Letrozole) in 2017 and am now 14 years down the line, having had 2 bouts of breast cancer since I was first diagnosed. I still lead a busy and fulfilling life and I hope that you will too.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Winnicent,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    This is always an anxious time, but I'm glad to hear that you have reached your fifth mammogram. Here's hoping that this one provides another good outcome. I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and wish you all the best,

    Kind regards,
