Hey all ! First to all the newly diagnosed stg 3 I have walked in your shoes,I have felt the terror of hearing "you have breast cancer" I have been slashed ,burned and poisoned.(read my stats scarey ...)

I HAVE SURVIVED

Yesterday I celebrated 7 years ...cancer free !!

I don't check in as much ...I probably should. I met many women here who were my shoulder to cry on..women who gave me hope when I thought I had been handed a death sentence.I don't know what I would have done without them. I am still in contact with many.

So here is my advice- Stay positive, live life ...

I have lived more since diagnosis than before I embrace every moment ...this will change you forever not going to lie.

You will get through this!

Love n Light

Cheryl

    Thank you for the positive words and hope. It was one year ago the 26th that I had surgery and was told no cancer found! Trying hard to live without the fear of recurrence. Some days are harder than others but trying to live each moment to the fullest and have stopped putting things off. If I want to do something I now do it. Congrats on 7 years cancer free. Hoping the same for all of us
