Anxiety and panic over third mammogram

I had a lumpectomy on April 27, 2022, triple negative, 22 treatments radiation. opted for no chemo. Margins clear and no lymph node involvement. Last 2 mammograms were clear. I know I am blessed. I just can't get over the anxiety and panic of my third mammogram this Thursday. Before my cancer I had some anxiety but now I feel like my days are numbered and it can rear its ugly head again. I have no family support and friends don't understand. I do see a therapist. I feel guilty for having anxiety, you ladies here have been through so much, however I felt like I could share my feelings here and someone would be able to share how they cope with this constant worry. I know all about mindfulness, prayer and grounding. It just seems like my brain just won't listen. Hugs to you all!
