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.  

Thank you for sharing. I had a mastectomy in July last year and I'm so concerned about the cancer coming back too. I feel like I'm waiting for the inevitable. It helps to know I'm not the only one 

I think that it is a normal concern for us from what I've now read

i hope that all goes well for you in the future and you can relax about anything happening again

Sending all good wishes

Same to you <3 

Hi

I am exactly the same, every single day and I'm sick to death of it ruling my life.

I was first diagnosed in 2014, had surgery and that was it, after 3 years it returned and I had more surgery n chemo. Again I had to start counting the years from 0 hoping to get to 5 years. I'm now over 2 years and I am having issues again, hopefully it won't be back but any symptoms and the anxiety becomes unbearable once again.

I feel like I live under a black cloud.

Anyone with any advice to make it better I would love to hear it.

I am sorry to hear that your concern is stressing you

I can understand that after a recurrence the worry must increase and my heart goes out to you

i am trying to keep a gratitude diary - each day thinking of at least 3 things I am grateful for

i also pray giving thanks and asking for strength

I hope you can find some calm soon

sending my best thoughts
