Long term survivor checking in!
Just logging in to give some hope out there that I clocked 16 years today as a stage 3 survivor. My daughter was nursing when we found the cancer & this past week we got her a car! I wanted to survive to make it to the point where she would remember me. I wouldn’t be just some smell that she knew but couldn’t quite place. I wanted to make it a point where I could tell her so many things about my life and she remembered my voice telling her. I’ve done that now for my baby 16 year old girl. Now I want to make it until she’s in college 🙏.
Keep fighting; reading; advocating for yourselves & ALWAYS dream big.
Thank you Herceptin. Thank you Dr Slamon & all the women before me. Thank you to all who supported me & encouraged me. Thank you to life. Love it ladies and gents. Live life to the fullest that you can.
Hugs 🤗
Ruth
