Tell your heart to beat again.....
breathe... just breathe.... I spent the last week telling myself don't freak out, just breathe, it's too early for bc to have returned, you're still having radiation. Didn't work. Still freaked out. ...

Hi Tracey, it's cruel isn't it.So sorry to hear you had a scare before you'd even finished radiation. There is no getting around the anxiety that grips you when you have to be scanned/tested.You just know they are looking for the big C again.It does get a little easier over time or maybe we desensitise abit.I've had bc twice- 2003 and again in 2010 (same breast).So yes, I've relived the nightmare and survived- my heart kept beating.I've had so many scares since then. I'm actually getting tired of being grateful for ailments that aren't cancer.Yay, I have a fatty liver not liver cancer-yay I've got diverticula disease not bowel cancer and just a few weeks ago- yay I've got pneumonia not lung cancer.And you are probably saying yay, I've breast inflammation.Take care,big hug.Tonya xx
