Hello

I haven't been on for awhile and trying to catch up, sadly I see we lost a few warriors and sadly we have a lot of newbies but we have an enormous amount of survivors so to u newbies, never lose hope. I am doing well. I have graduated to once a year follow ups and have been taken off of the femara. Now my body is trying to figure out what the old normal was after I got used to the new normal, go figure. I feel pretty good. We welcomed a new addition to our family, and he is fantastic! (Grandson) 5 yrs ago I never thought I would see that day. I still have all those dates etched in my mind, day of DX, first and last chemo but many days go by now that I don't think about cancer. So many of u on this board told me that would happen. I don't know how I would of done it without all u on this board offering encouraging words, advise and comfort. I just wanted to check in and say hello to all of you.

Darlene
