The magic 5 year mark

So, I am a tri-neg and since I count my anniversary from when I was done with treatment and not date of diagnosis (I still had cancer then....hello!) I am 5 months shy of 2 years out.  This magic five year mark is very interesting to me as I read thru alot of these forums and so many of you have received the terrrible news again even after 5, 8, 12 years, etc.  I just don't know what is so great about these "cured" numbers.  I will be glad to come to the three year mark since my doctor tells me that tri-negs really drop off for recurrence after that but just don't feel like those numbers are the end all be all.  I think life is a crap shoot anyway.......my brother-in-law had no idea that on Christmas eve he would sit in the floor to wrap presents and die of a massive heart attack.  We have no idea what will happen to us from one moment to another.  I'm not sure that they should give false hope to women with these numbers that clearly are not always right.

Anyway, just my two cents.  I certainly do not want to offend anyone.  I maintain a positive outlook that whatever will be will be and I do not sit around and worry about if/when my cancer will return as I cannot really affect it.  The most in-shape person in the world can drop dead in an instant.  Let's just remember to live our lives the best we can with as much joy as possible and tell our loved ones how much they mean to us.  Because, really, that's all you can do.
