2012 Diagnosed - How are you doing?

Jojo, I was diagnosed in 2012. Am presently on Tamoxifen after 2 years on AI. It made me nervous coming off AI but Onc said studies show 2 yrs on one and 3 yrs on another was as effective. Am certainly praying it's true!! I would say the side effects on these drugs are about the same. ( I was experiencing some bone loss from AI.) Haven't finished reconstructive surgery yet but am on my way!! Three years makes quite a difference.....there are days I don't even think about BC!! Yay!!

Diagnosed 8/12. It's been a roller coaster 3 years of emotions. Beatmom is a special sister to me and I think about her all the time. Cancer is still front and center in my brain. . Physically I am doing well

Diagnosed in July of 2012 at age 32. Radiation and Tamox for adjuvant therapies. Stopped the Tamox after a year and half because of SE's (with permission). Life is good despite long term effects of surgery, etc. I'll have my first MRI since getting my implants later this year, so that kind of thing always makes me nervous. I'm three years out, but I feel like all of this just happened yesterday.

Dx 8/12 also. Made it through active treatment pretty well. Frustrated by lingering issues. Docs all say you will get "back to normal", worlds biggest lie. Made it almost 20 months on tamoxifen, couldn't live with the SEs any longer, trying anastrazole now. Feel like about 90 both physically and mentally. But thankful to be alive, yes. Have lost a few sisters along the way, it is tough.

July 2012 for me, doing well after left mastectomy, with implant reconstruction, right breast lift, and the all important nipple tattoo. No hormone treatment for me, just yearly mammogram with the hopes they don't find anything each year. I don't think about cancer as much anymore, but sometimes it creeps in with some background noise. Take care all!

Feb 2012, for me. Doing ok, but I am being plagued by constant, unrelenting UTI's. Now waiting for urodyamics testing, I suspect Letrozole and atrophy to be at least part of the problem...

Have had recon and now waiting for second stage.

Aussie12, You have had a tough time. Wishing you well.

Diagnosed August 2012 at age 44. Doing ok. Periods did not come back after chemo,and that has some side effects. Just had a bone density test today to check for osteoporosis. I have some neuropathy and fatigue. I am trying to exercise more...it helps me feel fitter, but doesn't get rid of the fatigue. I'm better than a year ago, though. Trying to think about "getting out there" as I am single. Good support from this site and a group of us who go to lunch.

We are thinking of you aussie, and so sorry you are going through this. Darn!
