2 year Anniversary of being NED

[StephN]

Hi Kristin -
So, HAPPY that you are doing as well as you are. And, not to mention going to bat for others in the cancer situation. Fighting for others is one good way to get outside ourselves and get our own problems to recede into the background instead of driving us nuts day after day! You have the basic understanding of your disease and know the possibilities down the path. But you are well-armed with information and friends to back you up if need be. That takes a load off, doesn't it?!?

It has also been a good week for me in that Nov. 2 was my FIVE year anniversary of my lumpectomy and the news of HER2 positive. At that time, I was facing a tough chemo regimin to be followed by 36 rads. I had no idea then that my road would be so hard AFTER all that! But, we fight on and rise to the occasion.

A lot has changed for me, but I am still basically a happy and healthy person, even though I have a cancer that has tried to kill me twice now in that five years. Perspective does a lot to give one a new outlook on life!
Here I am to see my parents celebrate their 59th wedding annivesary tomorrow. Number 60 is a MUST see, for I know they will be around, and I have to do the same.
