Can you have breast cancer twice? Facing chemo at 69 with anxiety

Sending prayers. 🙏

Yes, breast cancer can occur more than once, and experiencing this journey again brings unique challenges that many in this community understand. The anxiety and physical effects are completely normal responses to facing treatment, especially when starting chemotherapy later in life. Having a support system and discussing concerns with healthcare providers, including managing anxiety with appropriate medication, shows great self-advocacy. This community is here to offer encouragement and share experiences as treatment begins.

Wish you all the best 🙏

You will do fine/ you sound strong

I have metastatic breast cancer too and now am 82 yrs old. I remarried after being a widow 17 yrs. He is a good man but when I found the cancer had come back after 4 1/2 years he changed. He is good to me now. I have Parkinson’s too and need help. When i fell recently n broke a bone in lumbar area of my spine, I was was in rehab for a month , i came home to find him planning a getaway with a young woman on facebook. He said he loved her n me. His prior wife passed from breast cancer so I thot he was scared. I was devastated n wanted to die. But I prayed hard for help. God answered my prayer and the woman got pregnant with her husband. So I had mine back and he never met up with her. Of course I’m not sure he will stay but when a nurse told us there was a woman alive for 10 yrs so far with shots of fulvestrant it helped. He still is on Facebook but he’s staying near me n helpful. I pray for all of you. God is good and has helped me many times. Pray in earnest and trust Him. I am Presbyterian in case you wondered. Forgive typos with Parkinson’s I can’t do much.
