4 YEARS ALREADY!
Hey all, I'm stopping in to say hello to my stage 3ers', and hope you are all doing well. I haven't been on this forum in months although I check here almost daily to see how you all are doing. I guess life has just kind of crowded out the stage 3 diagnosis. I really can't believe it's 4 years for me already. This entire year, I've been dealing with my painful knee issues and finally had the knee replacement in January and am recovering really nicely. No more pain!! So things seem brighter for me. I learned this year that the pain I went thru with my knee totally blocked out all my breast cancer issues. So, now another thing I got thru, yea! Sadly I see alot more new "faces" here, which means this disease just keeps on finding new ones to haunt.
Well, Peace and Blessings to all of you!

yayyyyy! how exciting! i can't wait to get there! i'm going on 1 year this month. i appreciate you sharing your celebration! it gives me hope! i'm sooo scared that it will come back. i have one girlfriend i found out this week that hers came back and with a vengence! then i found out the same day that my gorgeous cousin that i'm close to and love so much was just diagnosed as well. i'm a very positive and uplifting person but i admit.....sometimes it haunts me. then i remember that it is what it is.....I'm on a path that God continues to bless so i can't complain......nor can i worry.
i need to see the celebrations out there so thank you again for sharing!
God bless sweety! and the rest of you celebrators too!
