Let's Celebrate--I'm 40 today!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my happiness at turning 40 today! I never thought I'd reach this milestone when I was diagnosed at 36 with aggressive Her2 BC... I remember the grim prognosis and thinking "I hope I live to be 40" and here I am! Thanks to God, surgery, chemo, rads, and Herceptin and the love & support of so many--including the many wonderful people on this board--I have achieved my goal! 40 is the new 30...

I guess that one thing good about this disease is that we can be so much happier on our birthdays because we take them less for granted!

I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day and live to celebrate a bunch more birthday milestones!

Here's to YOU, Audrey!

I am looking for the big SIX-0 - I can hardly remember 40! Just that I know I had a lot more energy then and never dreamed I would be in the situation healthwise that I am.

Maybe the big 60 is the new 40 - see what you think in a few years - and really, really enjoy the day today. Do not let anyone ruin it or even put a damper on it for any reason.

Best,
Tami

You Go Girl!
We are so pleased that you made the big 40!!! And now, more than most; you can really appreciate the simple gifts in every day living! How great that 40 is (definitely NOT something to dread!), the warm sun, the gifts of family! Happy Happy day... and here is a toast to 50!
