5 year survivors, post your screen name here!

Five years ago today, my trusted family physician and long-time friend called me and told me I had breast cancer.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be here 5 years later!  But I am - 6 cm plus tumor, 9 positive nodes, Her2Pos and was only able to have  THREE months of Herceptin due to heart damage. 

But I am still here!  Thank you all for all your comfort, hope, and courage that you gave me through the years!!  I am so grateful.

5 short years from surgery this week. NED, no chemo, no AI's. Lots and lots of hope.

Super great news chef127! Congrats!

Five years ago this month I found out that I had cancer in both breasts and four positive nodes. November of 2011, I had a BMX, ALND, and bilateral DIEP reconstruction. Five years later, after having chemo, radiation, more surgery, and 4+ years of AIs, I'm still kicking!

Congratulations chef & Janet!

Congratulations janetanned

Five years ago yesterday, I picked up a phone call--it was my gyno. "It's cancer," she said.

And here I am today, happy and healthy. It was a long, bumpy road to get here, but SO worth it.

chef, Jane, selizabeth....from one stage 3'er to another...thank you for sharing!!! Hugs

Still kicking! Coming up on 6 years from my first diagnosis back in December 18, 2010

Today I celebrate 6 years since I was diagnosed.......so glad to be alive to .....I call my self "Lucky Ducky"......

Almost at five. Diagnosed on my 65th birthday. Started on AI, with few side effects. _{Had mast with DIEP two months later, due to a planned major trip out of the country, plus ILC not usually fast growing. Low oncotype but everyone surprised I had a node involved. Expect to remain on AI several more years if research bears that out.}

Congratulations, Lucy!
