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

  • Hi.. sorry you feel like this.. I had similar at the same end of Nov, op Jan & 5 days of radiotherapy.  I did have a lucky find on the mammogram as wouldn’t have been detected by examination.  I am feeling emotional, scared, cross and uptight.  I think it’s because I’m generally dealing with what I went through.  Your mind has probably caught up with what actually happened.  You haven’t process these things but time is a healer.  I keep worrying about reoccurrence and it’s stopping me enjoying my life .. Hope you are ok
