I'm only a some time user on this very good website....I am coming up on my 2 year mammogram. I completed lumpectomy surgery for a stage 2 breast cancer in January 2017. I completed 37 radiation treatments and then began Arimidex in MAy 2017. It hasn't been all that pleasant, but breast cancer isn't either. I would trade hot flashes and body pains for the assurance that my cancer is under control......Not much more I can add at this point. Until that next mammogram shows up negative, I will not rest easy.

Molly, I had my two year mammogram on Dec 21. They took two hours and came back asking me to get a biopsy after the first of the year. Needless to say the word "recurring" scared me to death. I had my biopsy on the 8th, then 4 more days of stressful waiting! Thankfully, it was benign!! Keep the faith even when you are going to dark places.
