10 years

Gitane

For those who are diagnosed with ILC, especially Pleomorphic ILC, I wanted to share that I have made it to the 10 year milestone after a stage 2b/3a diagnosis in 2005. Many of you on this site have helped me, and I am very grateful for that. More than anything else I have recognized how inevitable change is. It has rolled across my life, like it does to all of us. There has been so much change I hardly recognize my world or myself today compared to the way it was in 2005. I'm here living the best life I know how. How lucky is that! All my best to you all. Hugs, G.

I remember reading your posts when I was first dx and scared out of my mind--so much my teeth would chatter from fear--and you helped. I lift my coffee cup to you and toast your 10 years. I hope to be right behind you...! Love love love

Beautifully said! Congratulations!!!!!! I also lift my cup to you as Claire has but mine is a hot cup of non-fat Oprah Chai. "Here is to your continued good health for decades to come". The rest of us plan to be right on your heels.

Gitane - Don't know how I missed this post in August! Just seeing it now and I wanted to send along my Cheers!

Your posts were a lifeline for me when I was first diagnosed. I'm so happy to see that you're doing well and thriving. Here's to many, many more years!

I missed this post before. I was also diagnosed with pleomorphic ILC in June. I stopped googling that word pretty darn quickly! You give me hope, so pleased you're doing well.
