Hi
I don’t quite fit, I was 67 at diagnosis. I had my biennial mammogram and check a week ago. I never had dense breast tissue but 14 years later, my remaining breast is almost transparent! My much liked breast surgeon is happy to make an appointment for two years on, or for me contact him if I have any concerns. Fond as I am of him, I’m also happy to take the second option. On the rare occasions I have wanted an out of schedule consultation, he’s been prompt and available. So …. 14 years NED. You will always know that you have had cancer once, but the scanxiety almost vanished for me after six years (it goes faster than you might think) and those 14 years are much more marked by travel, new work opportunities, two grandsons and other good stuff than by constant thinking about cancer. My best wishes.
