edited March 2014 in Breast Cancer #1
It has been one year since I got that phone call that said those 3 dreaded words. It is cancer. My world came crashing down. Looking back I have changed so much in that year. I feel like I speak another language now, dx.tx. ER+ or PR- HER2 rads, Taxotere,Cytoxin etc etc. To all you new sisters, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!! This board has helped me through some rough days,someone always has an answer, advice or support for you.It is awesome. I know how scary and overwhelming it is but as we say "It is doable" I am a stronger women now than I was and I am doing good! I give God the glory for getting through this last year. God Bless

    3 for Me
    It was three years for me on December 19, 2010. Since then, many follow-up visits with all three doctors, several mammograms and I'm still dancing with NED. I thank God for his blessings, medical science, the brave ones who enter Trials to benefit all of us, and I bless my heart for hanging in there. I'm very happy for ALL OF US. Hugs, Marilynn

    2 years
    January was 2 years for me. Some days it feels like 10 years ago and others it feels like yesterday.

    It only gets better. :)

    Congatulations
    Janice,
    We talked before about our names... I am so glad for you. I can't wait until I can say that. My mom has 14yrs under her belt. I think you responded to her "mothers" blog. Hearing so many survivor stories gives me so much hope and empowerment. I WILL NOT let this take over. My mom is a huge reminder that we CAN beat it. Enjoy celebrating and here's to many many more years...

    We did it!
    It has been 1 year since my mastectomy and 6 months since my last chemo. Hard to believe what has gone on in this last year, isn't it? The lyrics in Shania Twain's song UP are perfect for all of us: "Up, Up, Up. It can only go up from here."

    I'm so proud of you Janice
    I'm so proud of you for fighting and winning! You are an amazing person and I'm so glad God brought our paths together and made us friends. Although I wish we didn't have to have BC to become friends.

    Hugs,

    congrats on reaching the one year mark! You are so right about being able to get through it all. As I said to my rads onc today my 28 treatments went pretty fast but when I think about chemo starting last August, it has been a journey. Will look forward to being cancer free after xray in May.
