Re: Long term "high oncotype test" survivors
Hi ladies. This is 1OUGirl (the original starter of this thread) and I am now 18 years out from diagnosis and just finished my yearly rounds of testing which showed I am still clear even though my Onco test score was a whopping 52!!! I am living happily and am thankful to my Lord for such huge blessings. I hope I can be an encouragement to those who are just beginning their journey and those who are wondering, as I did; if there really are long term high Onco score survivors out there……

Re: Stage III Cancer Survivors .... 10+ Years and Out
I will be ten years completing therapy at the end of December when I will stop taking Arimidex. My last appointment (July 3) my MO said she believes I am going "to be fine". You can still have a recurrence, but the odds drop dramatically with every year! I was walking on a cloud out of that office :)
knock on wood, ;)

Candy-So good to have you back! Glad that the polyps turned out to be benign but I am sure that the procedure was no fun. Now onto cataract surgery? It's always something with this cancer.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Hello all. I am back online.
My computer (10 years old) broke. Hard drive went bad. The repairman said not to spend the money fixing it, but invest in a new one. Ordered one and got it, but the old monitor was not compatible. Had to order a new monitor. Just got it hooked up today.
I am doing ok. Scans in Nov (I think I posted about them) were stable. Continuing Lynparza, Lupron, Xgeva. Next scans in March (4 months). I had a situation of some continued vaginal bleeding. I am on Lupron and have not had a period for the last 7 years. So I had that checked out- - surgical procedure. Polyps. And the biopsy was benign. So that health scare is now past me. Next, after the New Year, I need to schedule cataract surgery (age 54, and my eye doc said it is from the cancer treatments).
I tried to skim the posts since I have been offline. Thanks to those that mentioned me being MIA. Mel contacted me and I see she posted that I was still in the land of the living.
I missed you all.

A belated Merry Christmas to all and Happy Hanukkah & Kwanzaa as well! Had a wonderful day, got to DDs home to watch grands open presents and FaceTimed w/other DD at the same time. Went to Mass and came home to clean up mess from Christmas Eve dinner. Headed back to DD to help with food prep for our family meal (12 adults and 7 kids). Got home around 9 and passed out on couch. Off to see Wicked (the movie) this afternoon. Loved reading about everyone’s holiday. Mara - what a lovely thing your brother did. It would still be very sweet even if there was no chocolate involved😉😉😉.
Mel - so glad to hear from you - love the Theo photo. Thanks for the update on Candy. Glad to hear it was a computer issue and not something much worse.
