    Good Morning ladies, well today is my one year cancerversary. I can hardly beleive it. Am obviously feeling very reflective today. Its kind of odd going through the day today, Getting the kids up for school, making lunches, going to work everything so normal today....yet for me it isnt...am thinking of how my year changed forever a year ago today...2pm to be exact...never to be the same....things I could have never predicted that would happen but through all of it, the tears the fear I am realizing I found me.....thank you to all you wonderful ladies who have been here through all of it.

    Hugs Kymn

    Hope - Awesome news!  I know how hard it was to wait, but the news was worth waiting for!!  Time for a deep breath.

    Kymn - We do have a new perspective on life, don't we?!  We can't undo anything that has happened in the past, but we can choose how to look at our future.  Here's to moving forward!

    Suze - No fair that you're still in the hospital.  I'll be sending positive thoughts your way.  Just keep thinking about that awesome cruise coming up soon. 

    I hope that everyone is having a good day, and if not, that tomorrow will be a better one!

    Hello ladies!

    I haven't posted in a while but I read your posts every day.

    Hope...so happy for you!  Woo Hoo! 

    Laurajane...you are such an inspiration to all of us.

    Suze...I just finished the scrapbook of our March 2011 Disney Cruise. It was so amazing and given the nasty turn our lives took on June 28, I am soooo glad we did it. You will LOVE it!!!!

    Michelle, I agree with you about the radiation techs. I've had so many that I don't even try to remember their names any more. My RO is a very nice man but he's been out of the country since I started my tx. I think he's back now so I should see him tomorrow. Saw my MO today for about 2 minutes! My regular MO is on maternity leave and I really miss her!

    Kymn...congrats on getting through the year!

    TifJ....thanks for asking.  I'm hanging in there.  I find myself being a bit introspective at the moment but hope that a little house cleaning will shake that feeling.  My scan is scheduled for Thursday morning followed by my last chemo.  I'm hoping for good results on the scan so I can finally celebrate.  

    phgraham......you're welcome....:) 

    Has anyone heard from Bak?

    Hope: Congrats on "nothing."

    Kymn: Yup, you made it through BC (and a whole of other crap besides) - Congrats!   

    Suze:  Hope you're home soon. Your doc rocks.

    Inmate: Fingers crossed for good news. I have a good feeling for you...  

    Went for my annual breast MRI this morning. God, I hate that. Thought I was going to have a panic attack but managed to see it through without sounding the alarm. Onc appt. next week, so hopefully I'll get the all-clear.  

    Re the follow-ups, 2+ years from diagnosis, I see my onc every 4 months (soon to move to 6 months I think), BS every 6 months. RO dismissed me after rads as I had enough docs on surveillance. Annual mammo and breast MRI (for now). No other scans unless unexplained, persistent symptoms. No bloodwork other than my annual at PCP.

    Suze, I am so happy to hear that you might be coming home very soon.  You are absolutely amazing!  Your mind is so sharp and you are so all together that even in the midst of having a fever, anemia and blood tranfusions you are able to write to us with such intelligence and outlook towards life.  With that kind of brain and attitude, girl, you can get through anything!   I hope you get back home to your comforts very very soon.  Are you home yet?

    Luah - I am having my MRI done soon too.  You are so cool, wish I could be like that.  I become a total mess after a test, waiting for the results.  I hate the loud noises during MRI.  Mine is due in Jan but I have pushed it as far out as possible to Jan 30. 

    Kymn - A very happy cancerversary to you!  Are you counting from the day of diagnosis?

    Hope - So happy for your benign news, Yay!!!!!

    Kymn, I guess one could count from any day you like, either from the day of diagnosis, or the day of surgery when all the crap was taken out of your body or some even count from the day their treatments finished.  In my case, I was diagnosed July 20, 2010, finished surgery July 28, 2010, second surgery to remove all on August 18, 2010, and then due to infection, a clean up August 29, 2010.  I finished chemo 12/28/2010, and radiation 03/31/2011.  I feel that I should count from when the second surgery finished and the crap came ouf of my body.  So I have decided to count from Sept. 1st, 2010, so I am one year, 3 months, 10 days out today.

    Thank you all so much!  I don't know how I would have gotten through this without the compassion and support I found on this board.  What an incredible group of women you are!

    Kymn - congrats on celebrating this milestone!

    Inmate - keeping my fingers crossed that all will go well for you on Thurs, and sending positive thoughts your way!

    I count from day of dx.

    Dilemma - do I count from day of first dx or second dx?  I think I prefer to count from the day I had a clean PET scan.  That's 16 months later than day of first dx.

    I saw my RO today and learned that I will not see him again until mid-June.  Sounds good to me!

    Ladies I read posts every day but am not a regular poster. My anniv date is in 4 days, which was Dx day. I am six months out from PFzc and 4 mo out from rads. It is interesting to read the variety of treatment protocols. My BS wants to see me every 4 mo for two years. I had a clean mammo in Nov. he says I can wait a yr for another. However, my RO wants a mammo every six months. I liked him and his staff aftere dismissing my first RO for being a complete jerk. I drove 95 min one way everyday instead of 25 min to be treated by an ass. He wants to see me every 3 mo for two years- says its protocol. Then the MO also wants me every 3 months. I feel so popular! However they all missed my lymphedema, which makes me mad at all of them. It is mild, armpit and breast instead of arm, but they all should have been watching for it. Learning none of them do.

    Hope..just junk!! Love it!!  Junk is good.

    DX..I count from DX also...it's the farthest point away..so it works for me...

    Good to hear from you Kymn...2012 will be better...

    Suze..get your ** home..you have things to do.....(even though the song its a small world drives me crazy.

    Luah..hoping you hear the all clear...you too Inmate... 

    Oh yeah..the RO...I would sit there fully clothed and he would say let me see your breast...ok..whatever...

    Have you guys ever read the thread on here "you know your a cancer patient..when."...one lady said that she was at the dentist and started unbuttoning her shirt...

    I KNOW that this is their job..and they see alot of us all day long but I do agree sometimes a little more respect would be in order..  My BS always gowns me b-4 exam..my ONC does not..I just flip my shirt and bra up around my neck..I don't like it at all..I think it is kinda weird.
