One year ago today, Dec. 18, 2007, I underwent my MRM for my ER+PR+HER2+ BC. Of course I was terrified at the time, because my onc. had already told me that Her2 was more "aggressive."

Luckily I found this wonderful site, and the information and support I have gleaned from it certainly has lifted my spirits and kept me going throughout the past year of treatment. I have just completed #10 of 17 Herceptin infusions, and if all goes well will finish on May 8, 2008 (but who's counting?).

Thank you Joe and Christine, and all the amazing women and men on this site.

all the best

I am amazed at how far I have come since diagnosed over one year ago. Much of my progress is because of this site. Thank you Joe and Christine.

Celebrate!

Congratulations Caya on reaching this one year mark. When we are first diagnosed and given a treatment plan, it feels like we have such a long haul ahead of us but time has a way of marching on quicker then we realize. All the best to you and many years of good health ahead.

December 18 is YOUR day, Caya! Smile and look up and say thank you. Then go out and celebrate! (My date is July 14. That's the date of my mastectomy. 1995. Don't know if that's the date your supposed to count from, but it is always remembered by me and with humble gratitude.) From that moment on being alive had new meaning! Congratulations on reaching your first of many anniversaries, Caya. You have every reason to feel joyful and harmonious! YEAH!! http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/gstres/celebrte/cheerleader-jump

Congrat Caya!
You and I share the same date. It was a year ago I lost half my boob! It's amazing how far we have come this year. I could not have done it without all of our sisters here. They have given me support and information that has kept me going and kept me strong. Have a great day Caya and Lets get this second year under our belt!

Congratulations. What a difference a year makes, eh? To be a forty year survivor, you have to start with the first year and its the hardest year. So many new things to learn, understand and keep track of.

You did it and will keep on at it. Have a great week and buy yourself something nice.

Caya - conratulations! I remember when we were both newbies and I was so pleased to be in touch with you, and to have found this site.

My cancerversary was 2 days ago. I am glad it is done.

Onwards and healthwards...for all of us.
