just thought I should touch base. I dont get here too often these days! Im through my 6 rounds of chemo and 28 rad's. Trying to get life back to some kind of normal. Next month is my first mammogram since being diagnosed last year. I struggle a little with getting my head in the right space and not worry about what could be. Im just trying to live in the moment.

Thankyou for the lovely replies ladies! I got through the mammogram and follow up consultation with flying colors! The mixed emotional roller coaster was pretty extreem for me. One minute Im in a cold sweat worrying about EVERYTHING and the next minute I was on cloud 9 with happiness.
My highlight I think with the 12 month check was seeing the radiotherapy staff and nurses again. They become such a huge part of you life. Everyone that walked past took a double look and then commented on "gosh look at you!" You look wonderful, hairs growing and your face is smiling!!"
Such a confidence boost.

Hi Christie
I was quite weepy while having my first yearly mammogram & ultrasound. I was not consciously worried about there being more cancer but I still found it an emotional thing to do.
I also have a feeling of not knowing what to do next. It seems odd for life to just continue on as normal. But I guess that's what has to happen.
Best wishes

You are just one of us, the emotional part catches up with after treatment. But slowly and surely you will be better .... You are a better person now, a brave one, one that now know to look after yourself ... and lot more ...
all the best on your first mammogram - focus on the Now if you can, try to avoid the mental movies / memories. Bring a hubby/friend etc .. don't go alone!!!
