The nerves have really started to kick in! To be honest I was a bloody cranky bitch today. Felt sorry for my husband and daughter, but only fleetingly. First year scanniversary tomorrow and it’s doing my head in. Trying so hard to think positively but can’t help thinking what if.... Also worried about how I’m going to deal with the mammo when my boob is still so tender especially at the scar point. I know we all have to go through this and I have drawn some positives from previous posts. Sometimes it just helps to acknowledge your fears with others who understand.

Thanks @Hopes_and_Dreams, mammo and ultrasound looked clear! Yeah, celebrating that however the ultrasound showed quite a bit of scar tissue (to be expected I guess) but also lymphodema of the boob. Not sure what I’m supposed to do about that, if anything and if this is the precursor to lympdema in the arm. Perhaps a question that others on the network might be able to help out with. I was told that while everything looked clear the scar tissue and odema did make it difficult to get a really clear picture. The radiologist wasn’t concerned so I’m just focusing on that. Thanks for following up with me. All the best for tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing good news from you too. Big hugs for this nerve racking time. Sophie

We completely understand @Piccme. I was a mess waiting for my 1st anniversary mammogram and ultrasound last August. My heart was beating so fast in the waiting room I was starting to feel sick! Only those who have been through this can understand how stressful it is - it’s only natural for the what ifs to start playing on our mind. I have my 18 month check up on Tuesday and

know I will feel just as anxious. I’m sure your family understand. Let them know you are still tender - they may be able to do an ultrasound rather than a mammogram. Wishing you all the best for tomorrow, please let us make how you go. Sending a hug, Jane x

I'm afraid it seems almost unavoidable. I finally got relaxed - at my fifth!! All the rest, I had the jitters. But there is also the tidal wave of relief when all is well to look forward to. Best wishes for tomorrow.

Thank you @Hopes_and_Dreams and @Afraser for your well wishes. My 20th wedding anniversary on Tuesday too so hoping I will have something more to celebrate. Best of luck for Tuesday @Hopes_and_Dreams, I will be thinking of you. Hugs Sophie
