Four Years Ago Today
 

On May 10th, 2005, I found out I had cancer. The radiologist was certain that the "mass", as she called it, was malignant and I was sufficiently hysterical that she decided to perform a biopsy on the spot (read that as I wasn't going anywhere without a biopsy). Anyway, that seems like yesterday or .......... a lifetime ago, depending on the day, and I have been healthy since then. I had a nice Mom's Day today and received a MUCH needed spa card from my daughter and her dad and ate out at my favorite Italian restaurant. I am very happy to be on the planet, continue to watch my daughter grow and develop, and know all of you through your messages, wonderful advice, and wonderful humor.
Love to all and Happy Mother's Day.

Congratulations! I love to see post like this :)

I pretty much had the radiologist do the same thing which is not my normal personality but I was amazed how different I am with a ton of fear.

Dear Karen

It's so nice to hear about success, success, success.

I am cruising to 5 years and was not certain of my future. I am so happy to hear that another sister is doing well.

Big hug to you

Happy 4 years! Glad you had a great Mom's Day. Now go enjoy that spa card!

Dear Karen,

Happy news. It cheers me up every time.

I was 3 years end of february this year and I am determined to be here for my 4th.

I am so happy for you and your family. Enjoy.

Janie

Four years! Yeah! Keep the good news coming.

Karen, Congatulations on your 4 year mark. I am right behind you. 4 years the end of May!!!
Life is wonderful, and we are surely blessed.

Hi Jaimieh,
Yes, I can be pretty persistent but with a lot of fear in me I really wouldn't take no for an answer!

Dear Becky,
Thank you very much. Cruising to 5 years sounds like a very nice place to be. A big hug back to you!

Hi Karen,
Congratulations to you. Wow, 4 years. I was diagnosed 4 years ago next month and like you - sometimes it seems like just yesterday but more often than not it seems like it never really happened to me at all. I can vaguely remember chemo/herceptin and not sure why that is. My husband says it's God's way of protecting us from a really bad time in our life.

Anyway, I'm so happy to hear you are continuing to do well. It gives us all encouragement and hope.

Love and God's continued blessings to you Karen,

Mary Jo

Karen,

Congratuations on your 4-year anniversary, and keep on truckin'
