Hi there,
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Nov 21.
I've had my operation and radiotherapy and have been given the all clear 
I have my first mammagram in October but I'm stressing over this now thinking that the cancer will come back. I'm on Letrozole and Adcal D3 for the next 5 years but wish I could not be so anxious. Does anyone have any suggestions on things to do to help this anxiety as I'm normally a calm person.

Entirely different cancer for me, I was given the all clear in May 2021. I was checked every 3 months for the 1st year now on annual checks. What I have come to understand is that whilst I was waiting for diagnosis I worried myself silly and it helped not 1 jot I still had stage 4b Hodgkins Lymphoma. I got scanxiety before each quarterly check convinced it was back. Made no difference I remained clear. However much I worry will not effect the outcome but as my consultant told me if it comes back we will just deal with it.
Until I am told he tells me otherwise I am cancer free 
Hi, I have my first annual check up next month and I must admit I am beginning to think about it. When I do I really try just to distract myself with something else. I think it's natural to worry, but the trick is not to let it overcome.
I wonder if you have thought about any mindfulness techniques to help you? I use the app Headspace from time to time (usually for sleep) and I find that helps me focus on something other than my thoughts.
best wishes
