One thing I would like people to know is that once you have this diagnosis it is with you forever, even when your treatment is complete.  I had breast cancer and was treated from December 07 through mid March 08.  I was fine and had no problems.  There have been 2 scary times.  One was when my radiation was complete and I felt "set free"  like no one was wathcing.  I was informed of my diagnosis by the radiologist not my family doctor or ob/gyn.  Once the diagnosis was made, he was off the case and on came the surgeon.  After surgery I moved to the radiation oncologist and when that was done she was as well for six months.  There is also medical oncologist I see twice a year but no one seems to be in charge.  I suppose it will all come together next time I see the gyn or pmd - I see those 2 annually.  That was a scary time.  Secondly, was when I went for my six month mammoram.  I did not think anything of it.  When I got into the treatment room, I became so anxiious I could not speak calmly and my ears were pounding.  Fortunately, the radiologist read the films immediately and gave me the report before I left.  So, be prepared for how you will feel.
