5 years NED
 

Hi all,

Today is a special day for me, because I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I've been NED ever since.

I've seen my boys grow into bigger boys: they are 8, 13, 17 & 21 now.
I've started my own business
I've met new friends and strengthened bonds with old friends
I've ditched some so-called friends who weren't there for me when I needed them, and Boy, does that feel good!
I've done the things I always wanted to do "some day"
I've become a lot more like the person I want to be than I would have without breastcancer

For those of you who didn't get Herceptin: I didn't either. And here I am. Still going strong.

Thank you all for sharing this journey with me.

Jacqueline

Congratulations! Jacqueline. Sounded like you are one of the lucky ones. 5 years is a great mark on the BC journey. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I want to be you someday. Thanks for sharing and offering tremendous hope.
Love,

5 Years NED

Hallelulia! You give us all hope. Love, Vickie

congratulation! I will follow your footsteps. Without chemo, without radiation and without herceptin, I am now 3.5 years NED. I am on hormone (femara) therapy plus bone density monthly med. Many other food regimens. Once a while, I suspected bone or other aches but quickly I ruled out anything serious (since they go away and the pain was never severe). We can do it and we will.

Congratulations on your very special day and your wonderful accomplishments.
Best,
karen

Fantastic news - gives those of us (like you) who did neither chemo nor herceptin great hope for the future.
