5 year survivors, post your screen name here!

Five years today !!

Hello,

My mother is now a 21 year cancer survivor. First in 1993 stage 3 ,IN 2007 - In the neck , In 2012 in right lung , In 2014 now battling with liver and bone mets. This site is fabulous with fabulous people and I pray everyone finds strength to battle this buggers.

My cancer type was very mild and very treatable. I was given the option of the large lumpectomy. This was a shock to me at 37. The tumor type can come back worse if there is a reoccurrence.  This is why I chose the lumpectomy. There has been no reoccurrence. I have gone through at least four MRI's and each one has shown that things are fine. My last mammogram also was good. It was a journey to come through the large physical change at a young age. My situation is much milder than some others, but I am a survivor.

Not sure if I replied to this but here I am 5 years out !!!Thank you BCO !!

Hi Cheryl, Collie and Sige

As a relatively newbie (was diagnosed in April this year) reading your stories are truly inspirational. I am feeling pretty much terrified at the moment. Have you done anything different in terms of diet and exercise since treatment has finished?

October 30,  2009 cancerversary 5 years

December 31, 2014 can stop taking Femara  for good.

Thank you for this wonderful site of breascancer.org.  You were there when I needed you.

Hugs,

I have read all 620 posts...and I thank each and everyone of you for taking the time to post your encouraging words.  I am a newbie (lump on 9/25/14) and I am on the emotional roller coaster ride of my life.  Just had my cancer removed and I am already worrying about when it will come back.  After surgery I was told clear margins and no node involvement, but my post-op is this Tuesday and I'm afraid there will be some surprise from the path report.

It amazes me what all of you have been through and how positive you sound...again I thank you so much taking the time to encourage all of us who are just starting this crazy, scary journey.

xoxo
