Smile Re: Five years out???

Hi All: It's 5 years out for me this week! No recurrence! I have my mammogram, and chest x-ray, blood work next week and see the oncologist the following week. I hope to cut loose from the every 6 months exam. I'm feeling great, and it all seems like sooo long ago that I was diagnosed.

Re: Five years out???

hello, all! I, too, am about to be 5 years out and NED! I was diagnosed July 2005. I didn't think I'd live. I'm so grateful to God, and all the fine doctors and nurses. Onward, everyone! kate
