8 years!
I visited the radiology oncologist today and remain NED. She is one of the few doctors I have heard of who does "mammograms" despite my having had a bilateral mastectomy She X-rays the axillary tissue under my arms
I am so grateful to the members of this board who helped me in those very scary early days. I don't know what I would have done without you
And I'm grateful to be able to "pay it forward" as newcomers reach out
There's a lot of hope here
Keep the faith
