    Diagnosed 10 years ago today! I was 40 and scared out of my mind that I wouldn't see my son (13 at the time) graduate from High School. He graduated from COLLEGE in May….and I was there to celebrate! I'm so grateful for my life and my family.

    I was DX in 2011. This month it will be 10 years since and I’m still doing fine. My b/c was IDC, Stage 1b, Grade 1. I had a lumpectomy and 33 radiation treatments. I took Tamoxifen for 5 years. My MO said I didn’t need to take them after 5 years. My Oncotype score was 11 with an 8% chance of a recurrence.

    So yes there is reason for hope. I’m living proof.

    My friend who is now in her 70'S was diagnosed in her 30's. At that time they told her she would probably be dead within five years. She had a recurrence in her 50's. She's still going strong. So, ladies and gents it is possible to beat it. It's now 40 years since her first diagnosis.

    In April 2022 it will be five years for me. Each day is a blessing.

    Can't believe its 2022. Began this thread in March 2003 at age 38. Come back now twice a year. Wanted to check in though because I found it helpful when I was in treatment to see women many years out. To all of you going through. A big HUG. Michelle

    Today is the 4 year anniversary of my mastectomy. Since then I've gotten married, gotten a rewarding and lucrative new job, hated the ugly spot where my right nipple used to be, struggled with side effects of Toxifen, and most importantly given birth to my beautiful daughter.

    I'm grateful that the ups have been more than the downs. Sending hope for the same to anyone reading this who is going through it.
