First mammogram after treatment

Hello.  Sadly scanxiety is something most of us get before annual check up.  I'm 7 years down the line - click my name to see, and still get the what ifs.  I'm back on 3 year routine screening now and worry gap too long.  I found them to be very caring and understanding of our nervousness.  3ill you get results on day ?  

Hi Monalisa1869  I can completely understand how you feel as I have my first yearly mammogram the day after you ! Like you, mine was picked up in my 3rd routine mammogram, small at 8mm but was hormone positive so I have the joys of anastrozole for the next 4 years. Mine was non palpable as so small and deep. I didn't need chemo but did have 5 sessions of RT

I'm trying to stay calm and working on the assumption that I will get recalled so they can double check any post surgical changes so if I don't, that'll be a bonus 

Fingers crossed we both get good news although I won't be told on the day unfortunately ( wish they did ..I hate the waiting!) 

Sending hugs xx

Apparently I won’t get the results on the day and I’ve heard that I may have to wait like a “normal person” my NHS trust don’t prioritise previous cancer patients - it could be 6-8 weeks but I remember my mammogram was on 17 feb and within 2 weeks I had the recall letter so I’m hoping it won’t be too long lx

Thanks I’m sure I will find it emotional being back in the unit and reflecting on what I’ve been through - however I did get through it no matter how tough it was - looking at me you would not know I’ve had breast cancer but I am  a different person lx

No real answer to help anyone when the thoughts take over but know that everything is/has been done to alley any return. Try to keep a positive outlook but don’t dwell. Keep busy, do quizzes, watch tv, anything to stop you thinking. (I had mastectomy in Feb, plus chemo and 15 RT ending in Sept and no mammogram so I’m at a loss as to why not…still awaiting oncology app….)
