11 hours agoYes, 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.
