Hi merpreb. I am one month from completing everything, lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. I too feel the fear everyday. I'm on anti anxiety meds but I don't think they really help. I saw my surgeon this week and she said everything looks great and clear but I still worry. I'm not only afraid of reoccurrence but seem to be afraid of just about everything like if I'm eating to much sugar, carbs, can I have a beer with my husband and the list goes on and on and on. 🙁 I hate this new me but don't know how to fix it. Just take one day at a time I guess.

@karendb - Karen, I have many of the same concerns and in addition some painful physical side effects from Arimidex. Starting tomorrow i'm going to go off Arimidex for two weeks to see if it is contributing to these things. I'll let you know the results.
