Hey, you: Are a survivor, congratulations. Not sure if you link your cancer DX with the panic attack. Many of the answers can be dealt with by psychiatrists/psychologist using cognitive therapy. Sometimes benzodiazapine class helps, but they can make you drowsy.

Normal: You should realize that you have lowered your risk to as low as possible. You risk for a future breast cancer is not 0% but it as close as you can get. I recommend professional psychiatric help so that you can get to the root of these thoughts so you can go on to live a fabulously, healthy, fulfilling life. I hope your cancer team offered reconstruction . Good luck and enjoy survivorship!
