[TriciaK]

Thank you for posting this thread and for including "TriciaK" among the long time survivors who have been a part of this website. There are two of us called TriciaK, me from Utah and TriciaK from Ireland, and we are both survivors! I don't post as much as I used to but I read the messages at least once or twice a week, and my thoughts and prayers are always with each of you as we continue our battles. In December I will have my 6-months tests, including a CT/PET scan. This is the longest I have been able to go without testing in the three and a half years since my third BC mets showed up in 2004, and I admit to being a little nervous about the scan next month. It's been 22 years since my first BC in 1985, so it's been a long fight for this battle-scarred soon-to-be 78 year old warrior! My spirits and faith are still strong, even though I am now fighting cardiomyopathy, heart failure, fibromyalgia and severe sleep apnea, too! My husband and I spent Thanksgiving with our oldest son's 27-member family, and I can tell you the hugs from those dear little great-grandchildren make it all worthwhile! I will post the results of my tests next month, and I will keep reading your wonderful courageous messages and praying for you. I will also be glad to answer any questions any of you may want to ask me about my treatments, experiences, thoughts and so on. Hugs, TriciaK
