So thrilled for all of you. Wishing you the best of health. I am just getting over breast cancer and was suprised but glad they invented a new gadget to go with mammograms(similar to MRI except only takes minutes, did you see it on "The Doctors"?) that is finding cancer earlier and can now offer women more choices because of the earlier findings. It would be great if the drs could just put a radiotherapy thing in that spot. Then get the cancer vaccine passed by the FDA. Its an exciting time of medical advancements Finally!

Five years in July from first DCIS dx in 2007 ... One year in June from DCIS dx #2.
ETA: My mother was dx with DCIS at 81 (one very pi$$ed off old lady, I tell you!). She died at 89 of colon cancer ...BC was nowhere in the picture. And her sister, dx with IDC Stage II at 65 died at 88 of Alzheimers, still NED.

8 years from first diagnosis at stage III, 2.5 years from stage IV diagnosis. Taxotere and Arimidex have kept me NED for the last 2 years. Chemo may be barbaric but it does the trick!

I just finished chemo and radiation and started pills and Herceptin still going. One question for you. How did you deal with the pills? I tried Arimidex and now, Femara and have lots of pain, all over my body, bones, muscles and have fluids build up. I don't know if I will be able to handle it for 5 years. What did you do? Please share your experience with the drugs for 5 years.
