6 Years!
Hello,
I was diagnosed in Dec 03, 50 yrs, atypical medullary, they treated it as an invasive ductal breast cancer, 2.8cm, triple negative, no nodes involved out of 28, no vascular invasion, clean margins, lumpectomy, 4xac then 4x taxol every three weeks, then 33 rads. I am alittle over six years out this month !! My birthday was on Nov 22,09 and I had never been happier to turn 56!! Its been a roller coaster ride for me, but I am here and doing great. Hang in there! I don't post much, but this board was a life saver to me when I was diagnosed in 03, I felt scared and alone. Everyone offered so much support to me. So far I am doing great, everyday is a gift.
Hugs,
Patty

Woooohoooooo!!!!! That's awesome, and I'm so glad you posted! Congrats and happy late birthday!! I used to worry about getting old, but now - not so much - it sure beats the alternative! I just passed one year from diagnosis in November, and even that was a huge sigh of relief - you must be over the moon to be 6 years out!
Here's to lots more great years for you! Thanks so much for sharing and offering hope!
