I am wondering how many still felt a lot of anxiety at their one year since dx date? Mine is upcoming & I feel like I can't more forward. Some days I have hours of feeling great but then it all comes rushing back and is overwhelming to me. My kids just started back to school and fall is coming.....even that change is making me feel weird. I'm still going through surgeries & just had my ovaries removed & started Arimidex. Exchange surgery is in mid Sept. My family has all moved on which makes me so happy but I feel alone & it's hard always having to smile & keep everything normal.....when I don't feel normal.

    MamaM-

    I'd say what you are feeling is "normal" at this point. I put normal in quotes because nothing about any of this is normal if you know what I mean.

    I was dx'd October of 2013 and still have moments of anxiety, you are still early into this and it takes time. Having the kids go back to school might be some of it too, if you are like me having the kids around is a distraction and when that distraction is gone it leaves time to think.

    This does get easier as time goes on.....it really does. We are all here and know what you are going thru ((hugs))
