15 Years out!

[tricia keegan]

I never thought back in 2005 that I'd be here posting this today but I'm thrilled and grateful to be still healthy and well fifteen years later. My thoughts go out to all who are newly diagnosed with this disease, stay strong and know you will get through it, one day at a time.

I took the decision to reschedule my annual Mammo this year and prefer to wait a few months to (hopefully) wait for safer days from this awful virus, wishing good health to all my friends here.

Yippee Skippy. I'd say give it a name and buy it a drink but there's nowhere to go out too yet! So happy for you my dear friend. Big kisses and hugs to you. YES!

Thanks so much Becky, I had a nice chilled Pinot Grigio in the fridge to celebrate so raised a glass to all us survivor's!

Congrats!!! I haven't been on a longtime but what incredible news to come back to. I'm headed to 9 years out in November! One more year and this lady is getting a cool tattoo. Not sure of what yet.
Anyways, congrats again!

CONGRATS ON THE 15 years !
Long term survival ship gives so many hope for a great future .

Hi Tricia, so happy to hear that you celebrated with a glass of wine and toasted all of us. This is truly a remarkable group. I’ll reach 15 next spring. So fun to see so many long time members checking in.

Hugs, Catherine
Ps I just read a July 2020 post by Lani. Trials are under way that might eliminate chemo for Her2 patients. Instead treatment would be Herceptin and one other drug. I am not good at the science, but highly recommend everyone reads this post by Lani.

Thanks Catherine, I was actually just reading about that study yesterday, exciting times! I'm glad you managed to log in again and roll on spring for your celebration!

[Laurel]

Hey Tricia!
I have not been on the board in a few months and missed your cancerversary! Glad you hit that 15 year milestone! Yea You!!!

[tricia keegan]

Thanks to Nurse and Laurel, I don't get to log in as often as I used to but still like to check in with all my friends here when I can. xx

And here you are Tricia, FIFTEEN (!!) years out - it warms my heart to come back to these boards after a long time out and "seeing" you and all of these familiar names. Better than a comfortable shoe and MUCH better then the alternative. All of us sure know how to love, appreciate and nurture a day of feeling healthy - and you, especially - 15 years! I just had to say it again. You have much to celebrate! Godspeed to you and your family.

Mamacze, thank you so very much! Looking at your intro I can see you're quite the survivor yourself and I'm so happy for you too. Long life to all of us here.

Trica,
Congratulations on 15 years!!! That is a big number and so happy for you.
Have not been on the board for a long time. Just checking in and saw your post. Again, so happy for you. Will have a glass of Pino in your honor.

Hugs,
Jean

Dear Tricia. Have not been on this site for a very long time. So happy to hear your post. I reached 15 years this year and like you never expected to be here . Hope it gives good news to everyone being diagnosed with her2 this year and especially with the pandemic going on as treatments for this are getting better every day .
