Breast cancer fear

Sounds similar to my case although I don't know your age ,I'm 77. All we can do is follow the doc's advice, take the meds,exersize,(which I don't do) eat healthy as possible. Worrying is futile. As the song goes "what will be will be".. . I suggest you read about the odds of it coming back and what happens then. I think they will ease your stress. Knowledge is power. Continue your life and enjoy it all to the fullest.

i’m 76 with lobular stage 1b, double mass, radiation, oncotype score 25. no chemo, anesterozole for only 3 years dr took me off because of anxiety, wanted to continue she said no i might have resistance. it’s 6 years, at 5 years had scans and she said ned. i’m on anti anxiety meds and zoloft. i want to know how long the anestrozole will continue to work after the 3 years i took it. could it keep working after the 3 years. i thought in early years it was taken for 3 years. why did they change it, and could the anesterzole get rid of any remains cancer. thanks

me too, lots of anxiety, i tried lots of pills, last one was luvox which gave stomach pains.
now was switched to zoloft at least no stomachache.

It’s been 9 days since I received my positive diagnosis for breast cancer. I finally got to cry today.

it’s 6 years and i have not cried, im happy for you❤️

Thank you, I wish you tears of relief and of just living this life, one day at a time with acceptance and hope. Than you for changing my perspective, tears are good, they create space. To keep moving moving forward with lots of little rests.

Hello.
Can you share how old your were when diagnosed.
You did not have rad delivered?
I was 68 and forgoed radiation.
My tumor 14mm.

I was diagnosed in May 2024. I was 76. I had 2 lumps and 2 nodes that were positive. Largest one being 12 mm. This is pretty new to me. I chose not to radiate also.

To texas5 and tonysmom--May I ask why you decided against radiation?

I believe the medication is out of your system within a few days about 10. Also the medication doesn't kill cancer cells directly, but it can stop or slow the growth of some breast cancer cells. So maybe you have none in your body, and maybe it won't come back. Just take one day at a time. That's what I do. My story is exactly as yours except that I only had a lumpectpmy and I still do take the meds, and I am only 44 years old. I live my life to the fullest. Worrying is not worth it.
