Joni, nice to hear from you. Yes, four years for us!!! I'm glad you're doing well and congratulations on the weight loss. That takes real dedication.
All is well with me I am pleased to report. -
Great to hear from both Joni & Gilly.
Yesterday was birthday #59; today is the start of a year long attempt to lose weight even though I'm still on Femara for another year+4.5 months. I want to turn 60 with less fat on me & some place way cool, so I'm trying to save $$ too. Should happen if I'm not eating as much, right?
Hang in there Jedis.

Hello Everyone, It has been alwhile since I have been on this site. Sounds like everyone is doing great. I finally went to 6 month checkups in May. It feels great not to have to go to the doc all the time. I think about everyone on this site every now and then and was wondering how everyone is fairing. I havew been busy with my family it keeps getting bigger. i now have 6 grandkids. Three since this all happened. They are the love of my life. My husband I are going on a trip to celebrate our 35th annivesary. It was in January but when you live on a ranch you go when you get the time. Have a great rest of the summer and enjoy life to the fullest. Life is good Dianne

Hello Everyone, I was just going to wish all of us a happy fifth anniversary. We have all made it through some tough times, there are some that are looking down from heaven cheering us on.

Hi everyone! Not sure what made me come to this site today . . . Congrats to all who passed the 5 year milestone. Missing Lisa and so grateful for how she brought us together to support one another. Her grand baby is adorable and I'm sure she is one proud grandma up in heaven. And so sorry to hear about Jayne . . . Life is full of so many ups and downs. Best wishes to all of you and thank you being here!
