Michelle,

Thanks so much for posting! It is wonderful that you are doing so well. It gives those of us who are only a few years out a lot of hope to see somebody like you who was at a pretty advanced stage doing so well. I wish you many, many, more years.

I was also wondering if you were er/pr negative or positive?

Take Care,
Brenda

HELLO!!!
Glad you popped in to say you are still among those doing well.
Bet your kids are just about grown up by now.
Give my best regards to your mom from me.

I just love it when the "old timers" drop in to report how well they are doing. I LOVE it! Congratulations! Here's to decades more. Live it up!

Congratulations!

Just realized we were diagnosed the same year - 2003! Though my first lumpectomy was easier, I did have the scare 4 years later and had to deal with the stage IIB situation. Just a week ago I had an appointment with my oncologist and everything was fine except some aches and pains that worry me because they were along the scar lines and underarm lymph node area. So I am going to see the oncologist in six months again.

Seeing your post made me feel very relieved ... again. :) Thanks.

Haven't posted in sometime but today is my birthday. I'm almost 10 years out. Stage 3, high grade, highly aggressive, HER2+, positive node, 15 months of chemo, radiation, surgery, and Hercepitn. Praise the Lord and MD Anderson I'm cancer free and living a wonderful life. To all those struggling, there is life after cancer, and boy is it a good one. Two of my favorite quotes are "You never know how strong you are, until strong is the only choice you have" and "No matter how bad the day is , there is always something to be grateful for". Live, Laugh, love and have a fantastic day!
