    Good for you cathy67. I was very compliant about taking my hormonal meds post surgery. Still see my MO but now on yearly after last one and a couple of spots they were watching but so far so good. Keep up the good work and best wishes!!

    cathy67… the best advice I can give is to live. We have done SO much in these last 10.5 years. So many travels and life experiences and planning. There was a feeling for a fleeting moment like we should pause and just slow down—but we didn’t. We bought a new house. Got a dog. Planned trips. Looking back, we can’t imagine not doing those things. So plan. Do. Live.

    God bless

    bcincolorado,

    Yes, my doctor mentioned a few times, if everything shows normal, I shall back to 1 year routine. Last year's routine back biopsy, that is why I am still on 6 months routine, hopefully I join 1 year club soon.

    Thanks.

    colt45,

    Thanks! Plan and do it. Yes, we also just bought a new place, and I will plan lots of things, to live.

    hi there! I am 9 years since diagnosis however recently received a result from my annual breast MRI which has scared me

    BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There is a 5 mm focus of enhancement with T2 bright signal in the 5th or 6th anterior right rib, not definitely seen previously. 

    New right anterior 5th or 6th rib 5 mm enhancing focus. High T2 signal is reassuring, although etiology is unclear. Depending on risk of recurrence, consider CT/bone scan correlation. If not seen, consider six-month follow-up MRI.


    I am freaking out
