Congrats!!!! That is great news!
-
So happy for you!!! Wishing you many more BC free years!
-
Congratulations Lorrie!
-
That's great news! Do you mind sharing what treatments you had!
-
Thanks everyone!
Stride, I had two surgeries, lumpectomy and re-excision for better margins (actually three as I had an infection that needed to be drained), 4 rounds of taxotere and cytoxan, and a full course of radiation. I then participated in the bisphosphonate trial for 2 years until my stomach bothered me too much to continue.

Free at last! You should be well for a very long time to live a normal life. Just look after yourself, as you should anyway. That is wonderful news.

Congratulations on your impressive milestone, Morgan! It would be lovely if you'd post on the 5 year survivors, post your screen name here! thread too. Seeing so many anniversaries together is a real inspiration.

Hi Lorrie,
We corresponded a while back (really a while back). I just marked five years as well. It's such a day--it really means a lot. I'm thrilled for you and wish you all the best in health and life!
