Thank you for your reply I do appreciate your advice although I did say to my oncologist how I was feeling but don’t think they have the time to spend on one person.

My oncologist has been great and I have no complaint with him he already seen me more than they normally would as with a bilateral mastectomy they usually only see you one year after but said with my history he has continued to see me for the last 5 years.

i don’t like to waste to much of his valuable time as they don’t have much time with each patient and everyone is left waiting when it’s just all in my mind and should be able to get on top of this. I am the type of person that once I know what’s wrong I can cope with whatever there is to come so this is so not like me to feel like this is it just  the unknown I have no control over it.
