Hi, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, aged 42, after a mastectomy, chemo, herceptin, tamoxifen, a hysterectomy letrozole and annual mammograms for 8 years, i've felt anxious, scared etc throughout the last 8-9 years, but I took my last letrozole tablet last Saturday, and will be on the 3 yearly mammogram screening. I feel like my 'safety' net has gone. I'm not sure what to expect now that I'm not taking letrozole and I'm now 51 and within the menopause era 'proper', so to speak. As having gone through all of the above, I've been experiencing 'induced' symptoms.
I do have an appointment with my GP in a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure what I need to ask - can anyone offer me any thoughts/advise what to ask?
Hope all that makes sense.
Thank you
Hysterectomy was due to fybroids, (can't spell it!!). My children were very young when I was first diagnosed and my focus was always them, they are now both older teenagers, so doing their own things etc. I didn't seek any help, just got on with it etc. Running/excercise has been my 'go to' therapy. I think it's the fear of the unknown, as I've been a 'bubble'.
I am making a list of questions for the GP! 
Many thanks

Distraction is a great thing. I dance for exercise with a local group. I feel quite resigned to it in a way. If it comes back they can treat it again I feel. I just want to wrong as much life out if this body as I can. Love the gallows humour on her sometime. This bloody weather doesn't help.
I am a list writer, I was a health professional all my life, I can help it. 
Hi RunningMum
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. What you are saying makes perfect sense. When I finished my treatment for breast cancer I also felt that my safety net was gone as I had triple negative breast cancer so couldn't have further treatment once I had finished with the various treatments which lasted about a year.
There's a paper written by a Dr Peter Harvey called "After the treatment finishes - then what?" which sums up perfectly what the post treatment world is like. I read it myself and found it very informative. Here's the link to the paper: After the Treatment Finishes - Then What?.
Wishing you the best of luck with your GP's appointment.
Best wishes
