It seemed so horrible around my birthday in 2007 to hear those horrid words -- you have cancer. My life flashed before my eyes as I wondered where I was headed -- far too afraid to look behind me and a bit terrified of what was in front of me.
Thought five years sounded like such a very long time and it was hard to imagine it, but here I am, not really all that worse for wear. A little foot neuropathy decided to hang around, and a few aches....at my age they would likely be there anyway -- they may be getting a slight boost from the Arimidex I still take. Well, if its this or the alternative....I'll take this and be thankful every day. We are all destined for bumps in the road -- it is a sign of being wholly alive.

I want to publicly apologize for my posting earlier.....when I said "poor choice of words".....I meant MY poor choice of words "positive results"... Since that often refers to positive vs B-9 results.....I meant NO offense to anyone else's words. Please forgive my bumbling words.....can I blame the Norco?

Chachamom I took 1/2 a norco when I got shingles and it F'd me up so much that I never took anymore and suffered with only Aleve! Yup you can blame it on the Norco.

Dx'd 10 years ago today, with Stage 0. But it was really Stage 4 with liver mets.
After Gemzar with Herceptin for my liver, I was blessed with 6 years of remission.
Now I have a recurrence in the lymph nodes behind my sternum, but the growth is being slowed by Faslodex butt shots.
I have been on Herceptin for 9 years, and will be for life, I hope.
Yay me!

You are an inspiration, Denny!
I just passed my "5 years since diagnosis" at the end of November. I discovered my spinal mets a year and a half ago, but I'm looking forward to many more years- maybe 10, like you, Denny! I'm also on Faslodex, as well as Xgeva.

12.5 years out from a Stage 2A IDC right breast with 2/7 positive nodes. Now also 7 years out from a Stage 3C ILC left breast with 23/23 positive nodes. Still NED and grateful for every day!
As scary as a cancer diagnosis can be, remember we are not statistics! Inform yourself to the best of your ability so you become an active participant in your treatment decisions, then just take it one day at a time. Recognize that no human on earth today has a guarantee they will be here tomorrow, cancer or not. That is the human condition and fragility of life for us all. BUT don't let that keep you from LIVING each and every day you are given! Days turn into weeks, months and years before you know it!
Make each one count!
