Success Stories!

Carmelle, I needed some cheering up today so started reading survivors stories. So thrilled to see you thriving so many years later. My tears have turned to tears of joy! Thank you for sharing!

So awesome great relief starting to feel light hearted.

I see many Her2- 

Are there many Her2+ success stories? Please share

I feel like a dope, but what does it mean when someone just says "bump" or "bumping"?

2014 makes it 24 years of cancer free survival for me.  I had 6 of 16 positive nodes and a 2 1/2 cm tumor at age 36.   Next year is a silver anniversary for me!  I'm here, alive and planning the next 25 years.

I first came to BCO 11 years ago at the age of 47. I did have a mastectomy one year ago, for a pre- cancerous situation and just didn't want to take any chances. Feeling great and plan on many many more years cancer free. My aunt had breast cancer at 50 and died last year at 87  for other reasons. Her radiation back then was cobalt treatments.  

Cherrie and Michelle-co ~ Thank You for your posts! Michelle-co, Our stats are almost identical and I am now almost 6 years out. You give me great hope for the future.  Nico

Carmelle - thanks for responding!  You are a wonderful success story! Are you still taking arimidex?
