4th year of this battle with primary breast cancer

So glad that next month is my 4th mammogram since I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer. I passed the 3 mammograms once a year and all cleared. Keep finger cross this coming 21th of October my 4th will be cleared too. Finish my tamoxifen by January 2026. Hope everybody here are coping so well fight this terrible disease. Good luck

  • Hi that is good news I was wondering do you have any tips for brain fog due to anxiety.im scared all the time it’s effecting everything I cannot even drive due to this 

  • Hello Catlady01,

    Thanks for taking the time to reply  to my post. I think when you’re newly diagnosed of having a cancer the reaction is normal when you experience anxiety and sleepless nights. When my oncologist talked to me about the result of  mammogram, I was shocked but take it easy because when I get a letter asking me to go back to the breast clinic  after my first mammogram in just 2 weeks gap, I know that there must be something serious. So I’m preparing myself whatever the result. 

    After that my husband picked me up and we went to the car repair shop to picked up back my car. I had a car  accident one week after my routine mammogram once every 3 years. I managed to drive my car back home 7 miles from the town. When we finally arrived home, I tell my husband that I had .9mm primary breast cancer. 

    And yes, all my plans and dreams are shattered but I can’t remember that I cry. The thought of  dying haunted me day and night, because my first husband died of brain cancer. He died at the age of 38. Then come the series of treatments, radiotherapy no chemo. Since the last radiotherapy 4 years ago, nothing follows. I passed the fourth mammogram last October 2024  and all clear. I keep my fingers and legs crossed that my fifth mammogram this year October all will be cleared as well and finishes taking Tamoxifen next January 2026. 

    I hope my story will give you hope and strength to carry on with your daily activities/routine. Sending you my love and best wishes Xx
