@Luvsmyfam of course I wish you luck--am sure it will be fine tho. Can relate as I had breast cancer in 2012 and got all the surgery, chemo, rads and am on the last year of 10, cancer drug for it. But while I was a little nervous about those mammos afterwards, for me, it was like a security blanket knowing I would be check as often as I was. Was and still am so very grateful for all the care I got during those very dark days----If they find something then you will proceed onward as you did before. So much has changed even in the 10 years since I was DX. Congrats on 5 years!!!!

@Luvsmyfam  I started out with Boniva, which is the first med offered. That was decades ago. Didn't feel it was helping and my next bone scan indicated zero improvement. For me, it seemed like a sugar pill. So I went off it for several years and found another specialist!

I began this journey with my first lumpectomy in 1979 and have had more than I can count since then. Seriously. Last one was in June 2021. It's like going to the dentist for me! Annoying, but no longer aprehensive or worrisome. My physicians are excellent and THEY are paid to worry for me! (At least that's how I have lived with it since age 29 with frequent recurrences since.) We even returned to Nebraska to be close to my parents and friends after three in the first year. It's been an interesting journey. Grateful my husband was so supportive. Saddened he passed way to young in 2005 so suddenly and unexpectedly. I didn't see that coming. 

Be sure to walk daily. I've been doing that for years!  Used to run when my son had his paper route. We had fun each morning and I knew he was safe. When he stopped that, I continued with daily walks each afternoon after work. Didn't know how helpful it is at the time! Just read today that a 17 minute power walk is beneficial for you entire core. Try it. You'll feel great, stay slim with excellent posture! And eat healthy!!!!

It will be fine, but will say a prayer for you.  I have a scripture, I carry with me that I always read and meditate on when i have a difficult problem.  I did it when they found a lump a few years ago and i was waiting for a Ultrasound.  Its Isaiah 41:10.  About not being afraid, for he is with you.  I do apoligize if this is not your belief, just it comforts me when I worry about something.  It kept me sane waiting for results that turned out fine.  You will be OK.
