I am coming up to 5 years when I appear to be cancer free. I am struggling to see why I should be celebrating (although I see lots do on the board) and I am ok with that.

I have IDC and I understand the risk for recurrence does not really shift having passed the 5 year mark. in fact of those that are going to recur, IDC recurrences happen in the years 5-10.

So in fact I may be moving towards recurrence rather than away from it!? - so why celebrate this milestone?
