Approaching 1 year anniversary

Anonymous

Had my mammo this morning...first after lumpectomy on 2/8/07. It seemed like last year I was in the "twilight zone" and today I am in the "present".  Have so much to be thankful for...God's blessings.

Will take today's films to breast surgeon appointment on 1/15/08.  I was diagnosed on 1/17/07 and remember that day as I wasn't prepared to hear the word "cancer" immediately following the biopsy...but the surgeon was more than 90% sure.

This journey has been one that many women have been on. I thank you all for your support and prayers.

Bernadette,

I just passed my one year from dx Nov 07....its a wonderful feel isnt it?

I have graduated from the 3 month follow ups to the 6 months now so really felt that Ive passed through the tunnel and come out the other side when I heard my onco give me the all clear for 6 months ...

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Hugs

My diagnosaversary is 1/18.  One year ago I was a complete wreck.  Now I'm wrapping up rads and planning to get on with my life.  Congratulations!

Thank you "JellyDonut", Jule and "Twink" for your comments and congratulations to you all on your "radiant" journey.

I like the term "diagnosaversary". I'm trying to decide when to have my celebration. I could take the whole day off from work when I meet with the breast surgeon on 1/15 (its a 9AM appt) or I could wait til my birthday on January 30 when I turn 59. I spent my last year's birthday getting pre-admission tests at the hospital for my 2/8 surgery. Decisions, decisions...but these are light compared to the decisions of last year.

Bernadette,

No decision - take both days off!!  Enjoy and celebrate to your heart's content.  You've earned it.  Happy Birthday too.
