Four yrs & counting...

[Chelee]

I've had so much going on since Sept. of 09 with my recurrence...femur surgery, along with endless appts that I missed my 4 yr cancerversary. I can no longer say I'm NED...so I suppose I'm now celebrating my 4 yr "survivorversary". I'm almost two wks late but better late then never as they say. :)

(Side note: I now know I was stage IV from the get go. PET/CT always showed activity in right femur & it was highly recommended to rule out mets to that area but it was never done.) So I was never stage III as first told.

Chelee,

Many more years of survivorversities to you and everyone on this board. Thanks for your honest and compassionate posts to this site. You contribute much, my friend.

How is the walking coming along? Are you still using the walker or have they graduated you to a cane?
