I 'passed' my yearly oncology checkup today; so I am officially still in the clear, happy and grateful, 8 years out!
-
Congratulations, Ruth! That is the best news!
-
Fantastic news Ruth!!!!
-
Thank you. I am good almost all the time, but have never lost that feeling of pure panic before appointments. Iit is a very good thing to be done with......bringing the blood pressure back down to normal. Whew!
-
So happy to hear that, Ruth! Go do some happy dancing to work off the accumulated stress

I went to my Zumba class when I got home....so did my happy dancing & am now looking forward to good night's sleep!

Congratulations Ruthbru!!!! Thats great.

You get extra points for efficiency, Ruth - happy dancing while working out

Ruth - HOORAY and happy-hugs from CA!! Sending great weather to you first thing in the morning so you can have another happy dance, but this time in a bikini in the backyard LOL. Wow, 8 years - lucky girl! Is there anyone on this forum you have known since?Everyone - thank you for greetings for my 2nd cancerversary
-
Awesome news Ruth!!! Congrats! Glad you got to do some "happy dancing" and the BP is back to normal. Celebrate!!!!!
-
I celebrate every day, really I do; because I know how lucky I am!
Nisa, I didn't get active on the forums until about 2 years out from my diagnosis. A friend told me about BCO right away and I got a lot of information from the home pages, but on the forums I found myself gravitating to the 'worse case scenario', 'terrible side effects' threads, which I did not need....I knew what I had to do and just needed to do it. Later on, of course, I came to love this part of BCO (and along with getting support and companionship, I felt I could maybe be a counter to some of the scary/negative posts). I 'know' lots of ladies from back then. Some people just come for a specific time of their lives, but others, like me, around. Lots of the fun & game thread ladies, exercise thread ladies (Badger, hbcheryl, patoo & I started doing those summer get-togethers 5 years ago), and others are 'old timers'.
-
Congratulations, Ruth!So happy for you!
I love Zumba!
-
Congrats Ruth! That's quite a milestone. So uplifting to read.
-
Yay Ruth!
-
Thanks, ladies!
-
Ruth, I also want to add my congratulations on your great news to the list! Thanks for always being so positive and helpful!!! Amazonian hugs XXX
-
Hi Ruth and congratulations!! That is awesome and inspirational for us ladies still in treatment!!
Keep doing what your doing because it is working!! -
My secret: I did Arimidex for 5 years as prescribed, EXERCISE religiously (THE biggest non-medical thing we can do to minimize the rik of recurrence...plus lowers the risk of a lot of other health problems), keep my weight in the 'normal' range, eat semi-healthy, take a daily baby aspirin, do fun & interesting things......that's it!
-
I'm seeing enough research on coffee consumption reducing the risk of recurrence that I'm trying to start drinking it again. Apparently 2-4 cups a day makes a difference...
-
Since I love my coffee, I will agree with that research!
-
The other thing I do is eat a serving of dried plums (prunes) every day for bone health....prunes actually BUILD bones!
-
Ruth - congratulations!!! Those are all good things you listed. I'm starting to exercise regularly for the first time in my life and am trying to lose weight.
Just curious - what kind of tests or imaging does your doc do during your follow ups?
