Cancerversaries
 

Not only is August 30th DonnaD's 2 yr cancerversary, it is also Lexigirl's 3 year cancerversary.

Congratulations sisters! Job well done.

Congrats to all! Keep on doing what your doing!

Thanks Becky and Bill :). I love the word "sisters" that is what we are and always will be.

Congrats, Lexie girl(sis)! You'll always be one ahead of me. May we see many, many more.

I should also include "brothers!", Bill!

Life is so good.
Donna

Donna, & Lexi, I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on your cancerversaries. Here's to you both having another 50 plus some more to come. Woo hoo!

Chelee

Congratulations to 'everyone' who's having a cancerversary!

I'm gonna love watching Donna chase Lexigirl's record throughout the next 100 years! Way to Go!

Congrats Lexigirl and Donna - looking forward to many more anniversaries.

Aww, thanks so much for the congratulations!! I truly could not have gotten through this diagnosis without the support from my Her2 family. I am so thankful for each and every one of you.

Love,
Lexi

Congratulations!!!!!

When does one begin counting this milestone? I have never been clear on that....

Bonnie, Some say you start counting from the day of DX...and others say from the date of surgery. I personally go by the date of my surgery because to me that is when the mass was officially removed. I find most go by that date.

Chelee

Lexi,
Congratulations on your 3rd year anniversary.
Enjoy and do something very special.

Hugs,
jean

Thanks Chelee (love your avatar BTW!) and those who PM'd me. Since my diagnosis and surgery were only 12 days apart I will just settle for the month and year.
Wishing us all many more milestones a day at a time.

Lexi
Hope your day was special.....and celebrated. You deserve it! May you have many more anniverseries to celebrate!

Contratulations!

DonnaD and Lexigirl

You Go Girls!!

Those are wonderful anniversaries! It was 5 years for me in April, and I'm as joyous for you as I was for myself. Congratulations!

Cancerversary Chuckle
 

Congrats to Donna D and Lexigirl. It really is nice when these anniversaries roll around. We can all be so happy, even tho we do get scared sometimes. Here is my little chuckle. 2 years ago on Sept 20, I was still groggy from my Double Mast. With my sisters and 2 nieces and my husband in the hospital room, the cell phone rings.....our other niece in Minneapolis is on her way to the hospital to have her first baby. So as Johanna turns 2, I can think to myself, okay these little boobs have been gone for 2 years and it is okay. I love my prosthesis. Even when my older-aged brain forgets the dates....I can always have my little secret way of remembering.

Hugs and love to all , Catherine

PS. I, too, love our community and sister/brotherhood that we have.

Oh! HA HA I forgot my own BIG one!
 

4 years ago last weekend was when completely out of left field, I went from Stage 0 to Stage IV!!!

I remember it as if it was yesterday - looking at the Lotto sign and thinking, Who gives a sh*t about the Lotto.

Then telling my husband that he was going to "have to let me go" when the time comes. Sitting at the last Boardwalk concert of the year and wondering if it was the last one, ever, for me. Deciding to go for the odds of making it 36 months instead of only 18 and thinking at the time that that seemed SO long and SO impossible. (Of course John never thought that sounded like very long)

Running away to the mountains where we hugged and cried and talked about our memories since there was going to be no future...and went to our favorite place in the Sierra where trees grow out of solid rock in the middle of the river.

Well, I no longer think 36 months is long at all . Maybe 36 years? This summer I climbed a mountain and saw more trees growing out of solid rock and reaching for the heavens...

I'm very grateful to still be here, and for all the love that has rained down on me the past 4 years, and for all I have learned, and the people I met only because of this canser.

but of course, i still hope for a cure!
