Breast Cancer Survivor - then why don't I feel like it
I've just passed my 5 year cancer journey so why don't I feel like jumping for joy. I've been discharged by my oncologist and surgeon but now my anxiety has jumped up a notch even though I am on meds...
Hi @CatNev, it can be mixed emotions when your medical team breaks up with you. On one hand it’s great that they aren’t worried about you anymore- a good sign.But then who will check you- you’ve been cast adrift.I still see my breast surgeon yearly after my mammogram and that’s 11yrs on.She palpates my chest and personally looks at my Mammo films.That gives me peace of mind.I asked her ‘how much longer’?and she said forever! I’m probably funding her next holiday!
