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
