Hi Suehutz & Fenjay,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am glad to hear that you are both doing well after your surgery and I am sorry to hear that you both found your mammograms painful this time.

I am 14 years down the line from 2 bouts of breast cancer, which were a year apart. Anyone who has had a cancer diagnosis is always afraid of recurrence. When your annual check up comes around, it is back to the unknown until you get your results. Most of us would agree that waiting for these, is one of the scariest times in our cancer journey. It is so much easier to deal with things once you know what you are facing. I have found that it does get a little easier as time goes on, but there is still a worry until you know that you're still ion remission.

I sincerely hope that you both get the all clear again.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you for sharing your experience Jolamine.

I dont know why I feel so anxious? I suppose being in pain doesn't help. I know I am one of the very lucky ones having had the cancer detected so early. I had cervical cancer many many years ago and never had this feeling of uncertainty. I suppose having young children around kept my mind occupied:).

One of the great things is that I know, for sure, I am not alone. I just have to pick up my phone type a few words and you wonderful people out there are there. 

What an amazing community to have around us.

Thank you again xx

Hi Suehutz,

You certainly never need to feel alone, now that you have found this site. Most of us have either had first hand experience of cancer or have cared for someone who has. I doubt that there is anything that you could say that would shock us, as we're all too familiar with the ups and downs of cancer. I am sorry to hear that you've also had cervical cancer. Perhaps you were too busy with your young family then, to have time for uncertainty? Now that you have more time on your hands, you begin to doubt things. 

This is a fantastic community to have at our beck and call, so please feel free to join us.

Kind regards,
