Congrats Brenda - you and I are at just about the same stage - I had my 2 year cancerversary on Dec. 18, 2008 - I finished my last Herceptin 8 months ago. I had a check up with my onc. last week, and he graduated me to every 6 months (I was every 3 months until then).
I see the breast surgeon now once per year. I have alternating breast imaging - MRI, alternating every 6 months with digital mammo/ultrasound. I get the MRI because the mammo/ultrasound missed my BC due to very dense premenopausal breasts. My plastic surgeon found a tumour when he was doing my breast reduction surgery, 4 months later. The breast MRI pre-surgery detected the second tumour.
I wish you many more years of NED.
all the best
caya
