Hi folks,
Just a note of hope and encouragement. My BC diagnosis was on Friday the 13th of September, 1991. Thankfully, the eleven years since have pretty darn healthy ones for me. My healthcare providers, family, and friends have supported me every step of the way. I've become involved with cancer advocacy, support groups, educational programs and have met some of my now-best friends at cancer-related activities. I have during these years also lost close friends and family members to the disease. I just found this support group when talking to a friend at ACS ... and I'm happy that I did.

Good morning! Thank you for writing such an uplifting note. So many woman are just beginning the fight and don't know that there is so much hope for the future. I just had my 2 year anniv. on 9/11 and am looking foward to many more. I,too, have met many wonderful women on this website as well as through the ACS. Take care. HUGS!! Cathy0

Thanks for the note of encouragement. It's always good to hear from long-term survivors. Here's to many more healthy years for you and the others on this site.
Thanks again!0 -
Hi Karen -- I just stopped back to this site and read your question. Mine was a very early stage BC found on a mammogram. I had a lumpectomy with 3 months of chemo, 5 weeks of radiation, and then another 3 months of chemo (CMF). Oh, I had an axillary dissection too and the pathology showed that there was no lymph node imvolvement. Take care, Pattykenny said:Patty,
I read your email. What stage of BC were you?
