I was told that BRCA 1 and 2 patients have longer remissions so I am trying to see if this is true. I am BRCA 2 and have uterine serous carcinoma stage 4B. My remission is approaching 5 years. Are there others out there like me? Thanks.

Wish me luck today please
I am seeing the oncologist today. He may want me off arimidex. It's been 5 years. He also wants to see me because I've been diagnosed with IBS. I am prayiing that he doesn't call for more tests. Also had a bone scan last monday ordered by my rheumatologist. Praying that it doesn't show mets to my bones. So scared!
