5 year survivors, post your screen name here!

Congratlations!!

this June will be 5 years for me. So far all is well.

10 years, 1 month! Completely forgot about it this year until I saw there was a posting on this thread.

I know this thread is about 5 year survivors but I just hit 10 years and wanted to share my thoughts. I had a biopsy on 7/27/12 and received my diagnosis on 7/31/12. For some reason I am vividly remembering the events and feelings of that experience. I felt completely alone and was overwhelmed with questions and fear until I found the survivors in this community. They reached out to newbies like me and offered support, knowledge and encouragement for which i will be forever grateful. I have been blessed by friendships and motivated by survivors stories. I hope my story can be a source of hope..(((Hugs))) to others on your journey, you are not alone...Maureen1
