Three years for me, yay!

Well it's my three year anniversary today!  7cm total area with extensive high grade DCIS and multi-focal tumors, four positive nodes, one 4.5cm, another 3.5cm! LVI invasion!! my largest invasive tumor was 1.6cm!!! I was told this type of extensive invasion on a relatively small tumor (the other three were smaller) was common with a Her2+ tumor! Most of my cancer was DCIS. They told me I likely had this DCIS through my thirties. It was my first mammogram at 44 years of age. Symptoms brought me in (inverted nipple, crusty sore on nipple, weird looking breast).  Nursing kept me from getting timely mammograms from 40 to 43. Yes, long term breastfeeding did not protect me! I am happy to be here today.  There have been no significant changes in my life. I still need to lose 50 pounds, I still need to exercise more, I still eat red meat and sugar and I am surrounded by stressful people who sometimes carry on about the most petty things imaginable, like a store not having their favorite cereal.  I have found that in the past three years I have had many, many symptoms that I could have attributed to mets. But all of them....every single one....resolved themselves and I am starting to not only read on here or think but actually believe that it IS possible that I may survive and I can see that it is absolutely pointless and a complete waste of time to believe anything other than the only current truth (that message is really for me, I have made numerous posts about worries). I am here today, three years after my initial diagnosis of a very aggressive cancer! So yay for me!!!
