    Hello Sierra,

    I was grade three triple neg and it will seven years in Sept.

    The tripleneg never came back, but I did get a new ER+ but that was totally unrelated to the triplneg.

    Nice to see you!

    hugs,

    Hi Sierra,

    I'm a 17 year grade 3, er-/pr- survivor.  Diagnosed in 1990 at age 35.  Small local recurrence in 1991.

    Hi Sierra,

       I have a feeling that you wont get as many responses as you'd like but I think there is a very positive reason for that, as opposed to the alternative. Many women ,myself included, spend less and less time here the further away they get from their treatment and diagnosis. My original diagnosis in Aug 2004 was triple neg and during that time of my life this place was my lifeline second only to my family. I cant imagine not having had bc.org at that time of my life. I spent hours and hours, reading , and re-reading info, posts etc. A couple of years later I would perhaps stop in once or twice a week. Now, it's maybe twice a month. For me I look forward to the time where i can(hopefully) not feel the need to even do that. For many women getting on with their lives means letting go of the bc support system as well, so that you wont always hear the survivor stories but it doesnt mean that they aren't out there, rather they are, simply surviving Smile

    Babyface,
    I am not as far on the survivor scale as you (2.5 years), but I do think I will continue to come here as the years move on (I do intend on living another 40 years).  Not for the support, mind you, but to GIVE support.  I made a vow to share my story with anyone that "needs" it. 
    Love and prayers, Deb

    Hi Gals:



    Whoopschangedmyname:
    Congrats on your 2.5 mark! A great milestone.

    I think you hit the nail on the head there

    for me, anyway, I'm off and on several forums

    have met many ladies from different boards
    (in person) I enjoy the forums, and am happy to move
    ahead, while still keeping in touch with many gals.
    I also agree with you re supporting others. I go tomorrow
    with a good pal for her biopsy, so hope all is well. However,
    it is great to be able to be there for her, and I have referred
    her to this board, should she need it (up to her)

    Other than that, many gals I have know for 7 years, can hardly believe it,
    we always chat and have a good laugh. I am sure you too, will arrive
    there & be able to share your story.: I know one lady
    who is a thriver at 21 years.

    Hi there Babyface: Hope you are doing well. I actually never
    thought about how many I would answers I would like to this post.


    Hugs,

    Be Well


    Sierra :)

    The time is NOW!

    I think you may have misunderstood me Sierra. Perhaps it was my own insecurity, cause when I think of those kinds of questions it usually is because Im looking for long term reassurance if you know what I mean . What I meant by "as many responses as you'd like " was that although there may not be a whole lot of 10 year + trip neg survivors on the bds, I think there are quite a few out there who either dont come in often anymore, or never knew about them in the first place. I guess what im trying to say is that there are alot more trip neg long term survivors out there than we might see hereSmile
