Hi, thanks for sharing. It's nice to know that there is life after BC!! I got diagnosed last October (lumpectomy), then mastectomy/reconstruction, chemo and now about to finish radio. It's been such an intense time and I'm not really sure how I feel about getting to the end of it all (I'm still on herceptin for the rest of the year and tamoxifen for many years). I do feel a bit anxious about what happens next.
How do you get over any anxiety about recurrence? I've been feeling a bit flat and just not sure how to work out what to do next. I feel like everyone keeps saying I have to change diet (no sugar!), no alcohol, more exercise etc etc (so I am totally confused about everyone on this forum talking about those pink buns and having another glass of wine!!).
I'd be interested in your tips on how to manage post-treatment. I imagine there must still be a fair bit of anxiety with future check-ups.
Cheers, Anne
