Oh how divine: still here at nine!

Wow - seems like no time since my last corny cancerversary post. Never dreamed this day would come after getting that phone call nine years ago. And yet I've passed many landmarks: went to stepdaughter's wedding in Costa Rica, celebrated 30 years of marriage, bought a cabin at the coast, & had my hip replaced! This will be a pivotal year for me as I've been advised to switch from Arimidex to Tamoxifen due to bone density issues - I'm dragging my feet because my philosophy tends to be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" (of course, if my spine broke I'd HAVE to fix it!).

Anyway - so glad to have this group, who "get it" and help keep me sane. Best to all!

Julie,

Divine it is !!!!!!! Yours was the first post I saw as I logged in, I remember last years, "Ain't it great I made it to 8". ( excuse me if that was someone else ).

Congrats to you. I am going to have to start thinking of a line for my upcoming 2 years.

Good for you Julie! That is just so great. I am right behind you with my 9th year anniversary coming up in November. So thanks for leading the way

Also, I stopped Femara at 5 years and have been on Tamoxifen ever since. So far, so good.

Good luck to you and I will "see" you back here next year!!

Wow! Sugarplum, you are a gift here for everyone. You had such a scary beginning (I had never noticed your diagnosis before) and you have endured. It is so important that folks like you keep posting here. Looking forward to next April's, "Well, then, here's ten."

Admiring you from afar, Weesa

Thanks for posting and cheering me up! I think the worst part of stage 3 breast cancer is trying to live fully in the present since we know our future is uncertain You give me hope. Looking forward to year 10. ( and year 20)
