edited June 2014 in DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ)

Today marks my 1 year since diagnosis.  Finally, I am on the other side.  I had my last surgery 7 weeks ago.  I have some healing to do but my treatments are over.  What a ride and one I wish I had never been on.  This place has been so important to me and helped me in so many ways.  Thank you to all the women here.

    Congratulations!!  May you have a long happy life without cancer. 

    I had my 1 year mammogram in November and they found DCIS in the other breast.  I thought I would be celebrating...so I had surgery again in Dec and radiation is about to begin for the 2nd time... just finished radiation to the left breast in August 2010.. I am determined to get it all behind me too.

    hugs,

    Hi, i sent you a pm before I saw your post saying much the same.. I am so glad things are going well for you. It's a year for me too. I feel so fortunate to be where I am now, given how I was a year ago.

    Congratulations! You have been a big help to me over the last few months as our pathologies are so similar. I can't wait until I reach my 1 year mark too!

    Congratulations, that is good news. I remember those first days, because I was here as well. I didn't really know what to do on my "cancerversary", but I am relieved that the treatments are behind me. Still have a lot of depression and fears (PTSD?), but hopefully time will take care of the that.

    So glad to hear you've finished all the surgeries.

    I am so pleased for you.  My first annual check up following mastecomy is due soon and I am terrified as a lymph node has recently appeared near my collar bone on the other side.  It isn't painful but I am scared that the cancer may now have appeared on that side too. 

    Although I recoverd from the mastectomy quite quickly, I have become a nervous wreck and abdominal problems are now being investigated.  So far, all blood tests, chest X-Ray and ultrasound have come back as "normal" but.......

    On a brighter note, I rejoined my gym in January this year and today I acutally did a short run on the treadmill, this being the first since my operation. Smile

    Congratulations to you and here is to hoping that you are free from this horrible disease and live a long and wonderful life.  I just celebrated my 1st year as well and I cannot believe that I just started my 10th month today for my Tamox....I was just telling my husband as much as I have gone through I cannot believe I have 4 years and 2 months left on Tamox..... something to look forward to.....
