5 year survivors, post your screen name here!

congrats to all of you ladies!!!  Thank you so much for posting!  

8 years for me!

This is the best therapy!!! Really needed this positive reinforcement today. You Go Girls!!!!

Sharon,

It can be from any of those. I count from my diagnosis date. Others count from when they completed active treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation). My oncologist counted from when I started Arimidex, lol. As long as you are consistent, I don't think it matters. In most cases, it's only a few months difference.

All the ladies who are 5 years out and more, could you please write something about your treatment plans and your follow up routines.

Congratulations all of you for getting through this!!

First diagnosed in 2005, and I am still here, so I consider myself a kind of survivor.

Hugs to everyone,

Brenda

I'm coming up on my 2 years and just had clear scans so I'm planning for my 5!! :-)

I don't usually post but I am 10 years out from stage 4 diagnosis and still in remission.

Mo37, that is awesome!  Congratulations! And thank you for posting. What an uplifting message to read!!!

Thanks Mo37...Big congrats

5 years!  When I went for my checkup in January I was told I didn't have to come back for a whole year!!  My oncologist switched me from Arimidex to tamoxifen AND now I get to go to the Duke Breast Cancer Survivor Clinic instead of to her - which I love!

Well, it's come around to six years for me now. Some of those years were rougher than others. But surprisingly, the "cancer year" wasn't the hardest. I put that one at second.

It's just that sometimes, life is hard. We make the best of it and still manage to have good times despite facing losses that at times seem to overwhelm us. Hearing the news from other board members that they are still healthy is definitely encouraging. So I'm here now, to say, I'm still NED.
