Had my First Anniversary Mammo..and so the wait starts again.

It sounds like you had a very positive appointment.  But I do understand the fearful thinking, but you have achieved so much and come through so much in the past 12 months. 

Can I ask did they only do the mammogram on the one breast or the reconstructed one too.

Thank hunni I’m trying my very best to be postive as it’s been an awful year, not just with me, but my daughters stress doing her GCSEs this yr and my mum hasn’t been well either. I’m plodding on though.

Yes just the one breast now, they don’t touch the reconstructed side x

Well Beachwalker19 that’ll explain why you were up early this morning! It’s always tough waiting for results, because however much we tell ourselves it’ll be okay, i’m Sure there’s nothing wrong! There’s always that stupid little voice saying “what if”! Oh how I wish we could switch that voice off! I’m awaiting biopsy results and am having those same thoughts even though I am pretty sure all is fine! 

So all I can say is do your best to try and put it all to the back of your mind! Fill your days with nice things to keep you busy and happy! I find the happier we are the less we think bad thoughts! Continue to join the Fruit Loops if sleeping evades you and let’s hope that you receive those results soon and that you can then start to move forward from this horrid episode.....

Keeping fingers crossed for you! Xxxx

Thinking of all who are waiting results and hoping they are good, and not what you fear....

big comforting hugs xxx

Thank you LondonLass, unfortunately I’m always a wake in the night, i don’t usually come on here tho, as I find I never go bk to sleep haha, I usually watch Netflix or Amazon prime and drift off while watching an episode of something, which is a bit annoying as I have to go bk and rewatch.

I slept better when I was on chemo lol, even with the steroids and injection etc.

Dr thinks it’s my Letrozole tablets, I was told I could have anti depressants as they could help me sleep, but I’m not going down that rabbit hole, I’ve had enough meds and I find all meds have a side effect, which then require more meds and I’m just not willing to do it.

Thanks again for your kind words, I’m keeping postive. Spending time with kids which is great, am keeping busy too x x

Good luck with the results Beachwalker19.  I’m sure all will be fine. Completely understand feeling anxious though don’t think that feeling ever leaves us. I have follow up appointment with Breast Surgeon next week so mammogram likely then the dreaded wait for results.

Take Care x

Yep, I'm the same.  Annual review appointment on 24th October and first post-treatment mammogram.   It was a very strange experience being back in the clinic room where they told me I had cancer and back having another mammo.  Stranger still I think as I've gone back to work in that hospital and visit the oncology unit regularly to see my colleagues, it's very surreal but I'm trying to remain positive that all is well too.  Good luck to you all with results xx

Hi ,

I hope your mammogram results are good.

Did they tell you when you get results. I’m sure I asked at my mammo but I can’t remember, I asked twice as well! All I remember now is she said they would write to me. I really need to write things down. x x

Thank you Mrs50,

I am being really positive and I’m telling myself everything will be fine... I expect this is all part of the process post treatment and will always be a bit worried every year around mammo time.

Hi @beachwalker19  they didnt say and I forgot to ask, silly me.  I expect around 3 weeks or so.  Fingers crossed for us all!
