5 year survivors, post your screen name here!

So thrilled for all of you. Wishing you the best of health. I am just getting over breast cancer and was suprised but glad they invented a new gadget to go with mammograms(similar to MRI except only takes minutes, did you see it on "The Doctors"?) that is finding cancer earlier and can now offer women more choices because of the earlier findings. It would be great if the drs could just put a radiotherapy thing in that spot. Then get the cancer vaccine passed by the FDA. Its an exciting time of medical advancements Finally!

Six years and 9 mos., but who's counting?!  We are!! I LOVE seeing these posts!! Woot woot!!

7.5 years ago I was diagnosed with IBC, reached Stable and NED during the five years that followed.  2.5 years ago dx with bone mets ... dancing with that stable boy again for almost a year.  Had one mastectomy 7 years ago and finally just had other one by choice and am feeling better than ever about it.  Life does continue ... hugs to all!

Nell, so encouraged to read your post.  Dx with squamous cell triple negative 10/31/11 (Happy Halloween, huh?   Almost done with 6 rounds T/C, then 35 rads.  Since AI's don't do anythng for us, what if anything did you do differently after you finished treatment?  Thank you for sharing!!

Five years in July from first DCIS dx in 2007 ... One year in June from DCIS dx #2.

ETA: My mother was dx with DCIS at 81 (one very pi$$ed off old lady, I tell you!). She died at 89 of colon cancer ...BC was nowhere in the picture. And her sister, dx with IDC Stage II at 65 died at 88 of Alzheimers, still NED.
