@Teigra I think the simple answer is probably NO, the fear never leaves, I think it's because its a very real thing for any of us having been through BC. I had my 1st diagnosis in 2011 and I admit after that I didnt think about it or dream Id have a recurrence especially as I'd had aggressive treatment for what I had. 4yrs later a recurrence in the same spot, so then chemo, no rads as couldnt have it twice, and meds. I am currently 3yrs clear 2nd diagnosis and 50yrs old, I lost my Mum 9yrs ago and her Mum within 3 months of her. 1yr post treatment I had a single mastectomy diep flap reconstruction, it is a massive op but so personal for me. It had nothing to do with anyone else, so all I can say is, it's not about putting your family through it....it's about how you feel and what you want.
Everyday is a blessing, we dont know what is around the corner, I don't dwell on the whatifs though either, I can't control it, none of us can, we just do all the things we can to be the best we can and enjoy what we have.
So put you first above everyone else, that was my biggest lesson through it all...something Id never done ever. I learned to value me so much more. xx
