Celebrating a decade with MBC!
I’m at the beach celebrating my 10 year warrior-versary, surviving stage 4 breast cancer! Just wanted to share with some people who truly understand what a miracle this is! Love and prayers that we all get more time.❤️

Congratulations Julie! That is a milestone to be celebrated. I have also just passed the 10 year mark and though not a warrior myself, I am always happy to hear that more of us are reaching this mark.
-
Congrats!!! Love love love!!
-
Congratulations. I noticed you are a “flipper” from tnbc to Er+Pr+HER2-. Glad to see so many treatment options. Continued well wishes and good health.
-
Wonderful news, Julie!! Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring milestone. It surely will give much hope to many here!
Here's to many more amazing years ahead!

Omg, jnh! Your celebratory photos are fabulous! They are putting a big smile on my face. So much joyful energy in that jumping pose! What a fantastic way to celebrate! And you look amazing, too!
Exbrnxgrl, congratulations to you, too, on reaching the 10 year milestone!
Tina2, love how you put it, the 10-year club!

Tina2, inch and divine,
Am I imagining it or are we seeing more folks hit the ten year mark than we did even just 3-4 years ago? Certainly there are far more long term survivors than when I was first dx'ed. I know looking at bco is hardly scientific or accurate data but I find it encouraging!
-
Super-exciting, you guys!!! Definitively a big change from a few years ago, it feels like we are the early wave of some significant overall survival benefit to our drugs that hasn't been fully sussed out by the clinicians thus far...
-
Julie - so happy and excited to see your post ! Fantastic news . Thanks for posting, you are adorable and know that this gives us all hope !!
-
Congratulations, Julie! Your photos are incredible and your milestone encouraging to all of us
-

-
Congratulations Julie! Woo hoo
-
exbrnxgrl and Cure-ious - from your lips to Gods ear 😁
-
Congratulations Julie! Here's to 10 more great years!
-
yes! I labeled myself a “transformer” as my boys were young when all this change in pathology started! It ended up opening more treatment options for me
-
julie: I would love to be dancing on that beach with you. You looked wonderful and understandably so happy. It is possible. You raised my spirits and gave me hope!
I want to see this thread have many, many, many more 10 years milestones.

Exbrnxgrl, it really does seem like the ranks of exceptional responders has grown!
