4 YEARS!!!
OK have started this twice and keep losing the page. AAAAAARGH!!!!! Am determined to post because promised myself I would post on my anniversaries. Remember how much I watched for these. This site wias my lifeline. I don't post much now, but still lurk somewhat.
I've seen my oldest graduate and head to college, my middle go from 1st to 5th grade, and my youngest go from preschool to 3rd grade. I still have my what ifs, but most of the time I have "enjoy the moments"! I competed my Masters in Elementary Education, pulled my kids from public school, and am loving teaching them and seeing them progress.
To celbrate I'm treating myself to a roadtrip with my mom and my sister to Colorado to see my son play lacrosse for the USAFA and I am planning an Alaskan Cruise with my husband to celebrate 5 years (yes I am planning on being healthy for it).
Finally I have begun to enjoy the occasional sip of reservatrol. Now I have to schedule my 6 month oncology appointment, which always throws me for a loop, but God willing I will never hear my name attached to the "C" word again.

Congratulations!! I love hearing stories like this from my stage III sisters.
I am on my way to my 5th anniversary. It drives me crazy when anti chemo people say what difference does a year or so make. Is it worth it to put yourself through treatment? YES!!!! It is most definitely worth it!

Great - so much to look forward to. Congratulations!
