Freaking out

Compared to what many women are facing, this seems silly but my stomach is in knots. It’s been five years in June since my breast cancer nightmare started. The past three years I’ve been doing well with fewer scares and anxiety. Had my annual mammogram today. The technician acted fine today but did take one extra view on my cancer breast. She kind of explained it away but I still wasn’t sure why. Her parting words is the result would be posted online today or tomorrow. No results. Which seems normal except last year they posted results online within 3 hours of the mammogram. My appointment today was at 8:15 this morning. Nothing. To add more anxiety, my best friend was diagnosed one year after me with high grade DCIS, same oncology facility and doctors. We both had 3D mammogram.

She had her annual mammogram last Friday. That Monday morning she got called back which led to a sterotactic biopsy Thursday. Tomorrow at 9 am I am going with her for results which we are both quite worried about. So my anxiety for her has now added to my own anxiety. Not a good day.
