Dealing with anniversaries

Hi. This time last year I found a lump in my boob and was shortly later diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. I was luck that it was caught early, I had a lumpectomy and then a week course of radiotherapy. I’m on annual mammograms until I’m 50. 

I had the best out come possible but today I’m emotional and anxious and feel like I want to burst into tears. I feel so guilty I feel like this as I have had so easy and good going through this blip in my life I don’t really have a reason to be down. 

im trying to snap out of it and give myself a good talking to but I just got get out of this feeling

thank you for reading xx

    I too have my 1,yr anniversary this week after lumpectomy and radiaton for early breast cancer which was found on mammogram. It know it been caught early but I am terrified of my check up mammogram in case they find it come back and I have to face it all over again. I am trying hard not to go into panic mode and tell myself to pull myself together but it seems a lot of cancer suffers have exactly these feelings. I thinking of you and sending my best wishes. Jan
