well the mammogram on monday and doc on Wednesday, I assume that the re-check is to see if there is any more cancer. I feel silly but it is starting to weight on my mind... like waiting over again. i guess i havent gotten to the point where I dont think of it anymore.. That would be nice to forget that I ever had cancer.... but how long does that take. two good check ups. five years. how was it for you????

    February will be four years for me, and I still think about it all the time. And every time I go to the Oncologist, the pit in my stomach is there.

    It gets easier though, but speaking for myself, I'll doubt there will every come a time when I don't ever think about it, anymore. Hopefully, that will not be the case for you!!

    Hugs girl, and best of luck for all clear results.

    Henap,



    I was very nervous too about my first post-treatment mammogram, even though everyone said they expected it to be completely fine. And it was! I think it's normal to worry, but the odds are so much in your favor, and when it's over, you will breathe a big sigh of relief. dsj

    I had my 6 month followup in Nov and everything was fine Smile I saw my Dr. (breast surgeon) the same day as my followup mammo and he said the only changes that showed were surgical/radiation changes. I did get that standard letter in the mail from the hospital that performed the mammo on my surgery side. The letter that says they saw something they believe is benign...please followup in 6 months....etc. etc.

    Part of my treatment plan is to followup every 6 months. So in 6 months I'll have my annual mammo (both sides) and an Ultrasound on both sides.

    Please let us know how your followup goes.
