Well, it's my big Number Five!
And I spent it at the BEACH! Drinking Long Island Tea and listening to the waves and being toasted by my family and a friend and being fed steak and not having to clean up!
On Sept 26, 2002 I was told my ultrasound and mammo showed bc and my world changed, just as yours did. And now, 5 years later, it's a beautiful world out there and I've made it this far and expect to see you all in the next 5 years!

P.S. I just finished my chemo txs, and I am SO glad to be finished most of my txs...
I still have my reconstruction surgery on Nov. 7th, and then... the 5 years of Tamoxifen and an AI...
Still, it's a small milestone to celebrate! We went out to dinner with some friends, and bought a bottle of champagne to celebrate!
