Hey Rossileo!  The beaver trip sounds totally cool.  Am thinking of planning a dive trip to the Maldives for the end of the year.

Hair is getting down to shoulders, but I kept chopping it over the past two years to get rid of the curls!  Just went with a lighter brown and lots of blonde highlights.

Saw the MO two weeks ago; all's great.  Mammo and BS check up coming up in May.

AKJ - the key to moving on for me was to keep on doing what I was doing before and not sweat the small stuff.

Thanks everyone. I'm planning my life post cancer and you're inspiring me. I love traveling and being out in nature. Looking at 6 weeks of radiation after TC.

Happy Birthday, Phillybird! My birthday is on 4/16 as well. Fabulous 51 

I just had my 6 month mammo yesterday. All clear. I have to stay on 6 month checks since I am BRCA1

Rossileo: sounds like you have a wonderful summer scheduled

AKJ: Woo Hoo!  Femara is not bad. I have had a little joint pain, that's all. Just keep exercising. Keep living life!

 

Love you ladies . .

Happy Birthday to you too, LadyB!!

Definitely keep on exercising; best way to keep age and aches & pains at bay.

Ladyboss,

Good to hear from you and Happy belated birthday to you too!  And congrats on the all clear for your checkup.   Hope you have some fun plans for summer.

I went snow skiing in February and tore my ACL. It has taken two months to get over that incident. I am back to full workouts now. I have decided not to have surgery. I will just give up snow skiing. I can still walk, jog, and lift weights. I am still waiting for results of my blood work. I see my MO on 4/29.

I am wondering if any of you are still out there and "lurking" on these boards.

We are coming up on 6 years from diagnosis.

Hey, Ladyboss,

I check the boards from time to time. No word from Anna (Rossileo18) since April 2016. She had a recurrence, went stage IV, and I think lost her battle.

I'm 6 years since diagnosis (May 31), still taking anastrozole, and doing fine.

How is everyone else?

I knew that Anna had a recurrence, but I was hoping that treatments were working for her. I lurk on the boards so see if I can offer any suggestions. My 6 years was on 6/2. I am off all cancer drugs. I did the breast cancer index test that showed that I had a low chance of recurrence through year 10 and that Lexatrole wasn't really doing me any good. I had a prophylactic mastectomy a little over a year ago. I decided I did not want to take the chance of it coming back in the breasts. I am BRCA1, so that was highly likely.

I have not heard from anyone else, but I am so glad to hear from you. Sounds like you are doing great.
