Re: Delighted to join the six year club!!!
Thank you everyone and Congrats to you too Carol on seven years!!!
Colette sorry for the delay in replying to you, although pre menopausal at dx I had an ooph in '06 so I could take arimdex so all those menstrual twinges are a thing of the past, no regrets!!!
