Hi,
I am new here, I had breast cancer 2019 both breasts and it was stage 2 lobular cancer. I had surgery and 15 rounds if radiotherapy and was put on anastrozole and yearly mammograms for 10 years. At 5 year mark I have now to stop meds and going onto 3 yearly mammograms and I am so scared as both my lumps could not be felt by me or the specialist, the 10 years gave me a feeling of security and now I don't have that. I wondered if anyone feels like this and for some reason this has made me really upset and anxious and brought it all home, I have not shed one tear since having cancer I think I pushed it away and now it there and I am struggling and feel if I cry I won't stop. Sorry for long post for my first time but I hope someone has the same feelings as I feel alone even though I have family.
