Scanxiety - the fear of breast cancer recurrence

[@sophiaoh5986]

Thank you for sharing and articulating your inner feeling which echoes ours, who been through the cancer journey. Everyday is a bonus. Xx

[@DrLizORiordan]

Yes it is

[@graniabenge2814]

The cancer journey changes our lives forever in so many ways. Scanxiety is very real and all the many days in between. It is indeed tough...

[@minnesotagal507]

I had my diagnostic mammogram today, one year since diagnosis, no evidence of disease. ❤

[@DrLizORiordan]

That's brilliant

[@user-vs9bs9je2p]

Liz i know how it feels every time. It sometimes seems that every year it gets more difficult and frightening. My thoughts are with you, you are a whopper. Let's assume a happy ending... send you strength, love and gentleness.❤ lot’s off love From the Netherlands, I follow your posted thank you for that, you’re a beautifull person.

[@DrLizORiordan]

Thank you so much x x

[@BigBraveViking]

Totally with you on the scanxiety, Liz!! Just try and keep as busy as you can so you don’t have much time to dwell. I doubt our scanxiety will ever really go away though. Keeping everything crossed for you… ❤

[@DrLizORiordan]

I hope so too!

[@asiapersonalable]

I am with you on this one. I am dreading the scanning and waiting for the results. It’s like a sentencing day for me.

[@DrLizORiordan]

Fingers crossed!

I’m on a 2 week break from aromatase inhibitors. I feel WONDERFUL. Even my mama said how she loves hearing my voice so strong, clear and confident. It’s made me a tad cocky this familiarity of my old self. I was secretly thinking why not extend this good feeling another 2 weeks. But after watching this particular video of yours I’m putting my tail between my legs and facing the reality of our situation. I don’t know you, you don’t know me, we will most likely never meet, but you will always be in my ❤.

🙏🏾, the fear sucks, praying for you

[@DrLizORiordan]

I’m a first-time diagnosis but my invasive Lobular tumour was 5.5cm when I found it despite being uptodate with all my mammograms. I’d swear it wasn’t there the week before. The fear of where it’s travelled to is rigidly terrifying.

[@DrLizORiordan]

I know. It can be really hard at times

[@user-zi2sj1ke4m]

I feel exactly the same way Liz and because I have it in my chest wall I have a rash on the outside which I can see every day. Seeing it makes it more real and very hard to forget!

[@DrLizORiordan]

So sorry

[@kisslena]

We all are never the same with or without a cancer reoccurrence. The fear is always there. We have to live by faith in God and in our ability to honor ourselves in this health journey. We are more than conquers, we’re survivors and thrivers.

[@bettyfreddy8377]

Its terrifying.

[@HL-qv3yd]

I wish they found cure, that would be great for everyone.

[@DrLizORiordan]

I know

[@asiapersonalable]

Yes it’s just around this time life comes back to little dreadful but otherwise I don’t think about cancer.

[@HL-qv3yd]

Fear will be always there, please look after your health ❤🙏

[@DrLizORiordan]

I will
