[mimiflower07]

just wanted to thank so many of you that were there to support /talk me down.
My moment where ca just surprised me was when I realized i will soon be squabbling with my 12 yr old son.
I had wondered if i would see that day! Well its coming up.
I feel my newself, minus cognitive malfuntions at work , there are those achs and pains and well there is that fatigue but hey other then that its great . Can hardly believe its soon to be three yrs. thank you for those that rush in to help. Your brains, stories, wisdom, kind words,which i still refect on.
There are still days i wonder whats next but most days are good days. Wondering if we will stay on the AI few extra years.
Best wish to you all, lov ya and thankya

Suzanne - Thanks for posting your good news that you are doing well. Having raised 2 sons I can say you are entering some possible challenging times - yet fun and rewarding as well. Keep strong, enjoy that young man, and good health to you.

Hi Suzanne!

I am so happy everything is going well for you. I was just thinking about you but I figured you were doing just fine.

I did want to comment on your reference to staying on the AI alittle longer. I am on Arimidex. It will be 5 years in September (was on Tamoxifen until I got my ovaries removed). I just saw my onc on June 4 and he said he wants to keep me on another year and we'll go from there. He is hoping that a trial will finish up that will give some data that staying on is beneficial. He says that if the data says that it isn't, then we will stop then. So, I think I will be on at least one extra year and I think if there is still no data, he will continue. I have no appreciable side effects from it and I was 45 when diagnosed.

Sometimes I think about whether or not to continue as I wasn't greatly hormone positive (only ER+ - 50%) but for now, I'm good (and my 5 yrs on it isn't up until September anyway).

Always remember that being a survivor means you are still alive to live.

Love, Becky

Hey Suzanne!

So good to hear from you. I can hear the joy in your voice. So that son you worried over is now a different kind of worry! Isn't it wonderful! My sons are 18 (tomorrow!) and 19--both out of high school and off to college. Even the tough times were wonderful, because I was there to experience them!

Enjoy all the wonderful times you have coming up. The years pass so quickly.

Life is good.

Enjoy!

Thanks guys
It is wonderful to see my children grow into their own person...as a matter of fact Joshua lost his glasses this week, imagine that. I want to be upset so he learns to be responsible but.....life goes on. A moment i will remember. My daughter rollerbladed to school for the first time today. she is in grade 2 . I was freaking out.
I wish everyone well, thanks to all my her2 family.She was telling me "its ok mom, i fall all the time"

Isn't it the truth? We all fall all the time. And it's OK. The important thing is to get up and try again. [As I'm sure that's what you'd taught your daughter ...]

Thanks for the wonderful posting.
