edited March 2014 in Breast Cancer #1
Yesterday was a milestone. I had my two year check-up and full mammogram...NED. Yeah! I'm so happy. Plus, my carotid arteries were clear. When I was diagnosed on November 7, 2007, I was hit with a double whammy. Breast cancer and a serious blockage of my right carotid artery. Now, two years out, after two surgeries, chemo and radiation, I've received good reports on both health issues. I've shared so much on these boards over the past two years that I just had to share one more thing. Please, for those of you just starting out, there is light at the end of the tunnel and you do manage to make it through and fight your way out. Love, Marilynn

    Marilyn, I am so happy for your good reports, and know you have worked hard to achieve this outcome. Your postings on this board have been so inspiring for me, and I know you have touched so many others as well over the past two years. Congratulations on your reports, and here's hoping you will have many more of them in the coming years. Now, let's dance with NED. Hugs,
