My mom is IIIC. I just need a little encouragement. I go to see her in a few weeks.

    Let me think......
    We are all survivors but maybe she is referring to the DATE, you know the DATE...five years! :-) That would be great encouragement and I am working on it@

    Hope your Mom is doing well!! Hugs!

    HI Ketziah35
    Although I am not 70 yet but at age 56 I DO get senior discounts and I love it ;) But I know what you are asking.

    My Mother-in-law was diagnosed stage IIIb 2 years ago at age 72. She had surgery and chemo and has had 3 or 4 scans and is doing well, and at this time no evidence of disease.She has some lingering effects from the chemo such as neuropathy and fatigue.

    I hope your Mother does well with her treatments.

    Best wishes,
    -Pat
