I was sorry to read your story and to some extent,understand how you must feel.My first breast cancer was back in 2003 and as the years passed I became more confident about growing old.Last year(7yrs on)cancer came back in the same breast,same spot so had mastectomy and chemo and am now on Tamoxifen.I went for my first year mammo the other week and I was so anxious.It was clear but I no longer feel confident. I've given myself permission to feel like this for awhile.I kinda feel like a ticking time bomb sometimes.So I can only imagine how hard it is for you to find inner peace or to be joyous. Perhaps coming on this site and talking to ladies who are in a similar position may help.You may just want to vent or write down your thoughts.I have found this site so supportive and you don't feel so alone.I hope you will too.
