5 year survivors, post your screen name here!

ruthbru....thanks. Was it your decision to only do 5 years or your Docs? I'm hoping to only do 5 but hear 10 might be recommended.

Forgot to post here!

Five years and a month from surgery. Five years and 3 months from diagnosis. Chemo 4 AC/T DD plus 5 weekly Carboplatin (because BRCA2+), Exemestane (5th year) BMX, PBSO

ER+ PR (weakly positive) Her2- Luminal B IDC; 1.4 cm 0/1 node, no LVI, Grade 3, Oncoscore 39, BRCA2+, Stage 1A

Ruthbru - I am interested in your answer too. Coming up on completing 5 years and my MO has given me no definitive answer on extending time on AI.

Congratulations to QuinnCat and Edwards750 on the 5 years.

Love to read the good news.

Iam glad that you are free cancer. That is a blessing, congrats. 😊🌸🌺Iam taking letrozole and before that I was with anastrazole. I am trying to not quiet but my body is very painful. I do not know if is better to change to Tamoxifen. I had a Doble mastectomy, because I was with a lump 1 cm in my right breast. BRCA2 gen and ER +. No quimo or radio. I want to know how yo deal with the medicine. Thank you. 😊🌸

Saw my MO yesterday. She said the research says not much extra benefit for more than 5 years on AIs, though if one is a nervous Nelly like me, I might have a psychological benefit of staying on for another year (I have no evident SEs on exemestane except thinning hair on top which she did say would reverse once off the AI - really?). She did start me on Prolia shots, every 6 months, as they appear to help prevent bone mets.

Celebrated 5 years last August!

9 years out this past week. Life is good and most days I don't think about breast cancer!

10 years this last February; doing great, feeling fantastic, and very, very, very grateful every single day!

Five years today

Really thankful for all the posts here. Keep coming back! Wish more profiles included a diagnosis. My cancer was hormone negative and there doesn't seem to be many of those posting here.

5 years out on June 20th !! Really enjoying life, healthy and happy---LOVE this website, THANK-YOU ONE AND ALL

Same here Pinpandor. I'm triple negative. Would love to hear from some of those gals. Though I've been told that once most people get a couple of years under their belt, they tend to fall off of this sight. I'm at 19 months and counting.
