Its very important to share and know it is quite normal to have anniversary anxiety so to speak it doesn't go away just gets a little less intense.

The first anniversary is hard. I was suppose to still be under treatment but it was stopped as impacting on my heart 2 weeks before. That first year is a marathon. We are battered and exhausted. I promise you...year 2 is so much sweeter when you start to really believe you are a survivor. It's also harder as you reflect also that your sister isn't with you to celebrate. I feel that too. I celebrate mine with my sister's daughter who did make it, we both understand the confusing bittersweet part of still being here. Something she would be delighted with, that we have each other on those dark days. X3

All the best for yours, @Sister xx
Mine are up in Port Macquarie on Thurs 22nd ..... I don't think I get to see anyone tho!! They will go to my Rad Onc & BS & new GP. I'm having the same specialist Breast Ultrasound lady as 4-5 months ago when I had the scare in the other boob. She is my Rad Onc's favourite BC ultrasound person. My next 'specialist' visit (unless something is found
) is in the middle of Jan, with my BS.
I will never go to Taree Radiology again after they didn't pick it up last 3 times I attended there (2 mammograms & 1 ultrasound) - even tho my GP had indicated the exact spot!
How important is it - to have faith on your health specialists??
@adean - gosh, I did get a bit of a laugh about your lovely mauve ballgown!! I never even thought of that! Do you think you'll ever wear it 'for fun'??

@Sister @arpie Sounds like we have all got a busy month ahead with us all getting our first anniversary mammos. I'm getting mine done at St Andrews too! What a pity we weren't on the same day!! Mine is on the 4th Dec & I see Melissa, surgeon, straight afterwards. It was good that they arranged it like that so I didnt have to travel to Adelaide again PLUS I didnt have to wait for the results. I was diagnosed 6th Dec last year so my mammo is only 2 days short of one year. Good luck to us all & try to stay positive & calm. We have already proven how strong we can be so let's get this year done & dusted & look forward to easier times ahead!! Love & hugs xx2

Speaking of anniversaries, this evening I went back to the hospital where I had my tumour removed, and then the re-excision for margins. I was visiting a good friend who had a hysterectomy yesterday. I did experience quite a substantial anxiety spike being there for the first time since the 12th December last year. It bloody feels like yesterday. Glad to see my friend, but very glad to get out of there...0

Here's an anniversary for you: it is exactly one year today that I began my last period. As of today I am officially menopausal. 2

A speaker at the BCNA forum in Geelong said scanxiety is not anxiety in its usual form. It is actually a fear brought on by remembrance of an actual event and it is very real and very normal. So everyone, give yourself a big hug because you deserve it. And give yourself one from me too, I love giving hugs6

I was actually glad when my final period happened ‘naturally’, @kmakm, I was about 50 ..... Leading up to that, I had had some VERY embarrassing random moments when I had Totally unexpected major flooding (as in thru your clothes) ... whilst out shopping ..... as in walking thru the supermarket one minute and “OH F** K” where’s the loo (and there isn’t one unless you are staff ....). NOT a good look!
