5 year clear!

ettasmom

Hello,

I have been meaning to get on here and post a positive update, but time goes so fast! I was 5 year cleared in September! No problems or concerns. All blood tests great, feel great, life is good. I still try to limit my sugar intake as much as possible. Very few desserts, or liquids with sugar. Still exercise 3 -5 times a week, mostly yoga. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, not so much meat. Do have chicken and fish more often than beef. My oncologist still wants yearly checks, I may or may not do that, haven't decided. But I am totally healthy at this point, other than 32 rounds of radiation back in 2011 after the lumpectomy and lymph node check I have had no other treatment. No drugs, nothing. Just wanted to let people know so that initial diagnosis does not throw you into complete fear like it did to me. You can conquer this! My weight has been within 5 pounds of 137 (either way) since 2011, and I am 5 feet 7.5 inches tall, I believe keeping a good weight for your frame size helps with all things related to health. That is one reason I do the no sugar, exercise, lots of fruit and veggie routine. I wish all of you good results and long lives.

Take Care,

Deb
