Hi @lorena,
there wouldn’t be anyone who has had breast cancer treatment who doesn’t somewhere , sometime , have a little voice inside them saying “ will it come back”?
Everyone will be different as to how they deal by with this and for some professional counselling may assist.
My GP did refer me to a physchologist ( who had a specialty in cancer patients) for a couple of sessions after my diagnosis and I found it very helpful . One of the topics we discussed was fear of recurrence.
There will also be certain “ trigger points” such as the annual scans ( the term “ scanxiety” is so apt!).
For my part , I decided to get as fit and healthy as I could be, enjoy life as much as I can , follow my Doctors recommendations, and try and focus on all the positives.
