Worry about spread despite successful treatment last year

I find myself thinking about cancer many times every day although I had a successful lumpectomy last August

Is this common?

will it continue?

any advice?

thank you

  • Certainly for me the fear is still there and I was diagnosed 2018. Cancer remains with me on a daily basis. I'm still having adjuvant treatment but I'm not sure even if I was completely finished that I would feel any different.  Recurrence is a real issue for most women unless you've actually been told you have been cured.  Completely normal to take however long to process everything that's happened to you.
