Why yes indeed it has! Whoop, whoop! 3 years ladies!
I'm feeling great, except for some complications from Tamoxifen and on/off shoulder pain. But otherwise doing well. Hoping you all are well, too.
-
Still holding steady and enjoying life, even at stage IV. Good to hear from you!

Yes, I am OK as well. Holding steady and still flat (my choice). I do still get a bit of tightness across the incisions from time to time, but it is very minor compared to the way it was the first year.
-
Doing well 3 years into my 10 years of Tamoxifen. Glad to hear others are doing well too.
-
Doing well, but last year was scared to death....my Oncologist told me I got it in my scull, thank Lord it was wrong alarm, but I was really scared...I changed him afterwards...He told me I had 2 years to live...

Hello ladies!
Just checking in- another year over.
Nothing new with me- oldest daughter started college (2 hours away so close enough to visit), DD#2 still busy with gymnastics and school (straight A student and practices 30 hours/week year round!) Still working FT in a job that I love.
Three of my co-workers are also part of the sisterhood! Small world
Hope all is well with everyone. We helped each other get thru a very tough time
-
Hello everyone! I am still here, still have chemo head. Nothing new with me, besides car accident last year, which brought me to another operation. Now I am fine, thank God, but still afraid to drive.
-
Still knitting, Olgah?
-
Still do! And spend a lot of money on yarn. How are you doing?
-
My annual check in! Hope every one is well! I'm still here! No longer taking any meds, switched jobs- working in addiction medicine and I love it! DD#1 switched colleges- she is now 17 hours from home! DD#2 is a junior- quit gymnastics and both are doing great!

It is 10 years....Where is everyone?
-
Olgah,
How are you? After ten years at stage IV, I am still around and retired from teaching in June. Who would have imagined that was even possible 10 years ago? I think I may be the only one who still posts regularly from our Sept. 2011 group. I hope everyone else is enjoying a bc free life! Take good care.

Cary, it was so nice to hear from you! 10 years....I think sometimes, it was only a bad dream...till I look on my breast....I still cannot wear pink. I hate October. I had couple more DNC , because Tamoxifen has been growing cysts in uterus and cervix. I had an accident in 2016 and had hip operation Labrum tear. I am so tired of working full time and being old. I hope more our group people respond.n We were nice group and supported each other.
