Just realized next month (JAN 2008) is when all my BC adventure started! Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other days so long ago..

    me too
    I had my lumpectomy on January 21, 2009 ... and then chemo and radiation ... and like you ... sometimes it seems like a million years ago ... sometimes it seems like yesterday ... then other times ... I still find it hard to believe it ever happened.

    It's been an adventure that I never thought I'd have to take ... but it's also showed me that I'm much stronger than I ever thought I could be.

    Happy Holidays ... and hugs,
    Teena

    Someone's end is another's reintroduction to that world again!
    Hi Denise,

    You were ending in June 2008 and I was beginning my 4th adventure with breast cancer. A ct scan, PET and VATS told me the bad news I began a hormonal therapy and by March 2009, it failed then I began another hormonal which lasted 2 years more or less. A vacation from the drug and in the 5th month, I knew it was back once again. Soon I will try the same drug to see if the theory works. With most women take something call Estradiol and a lot don't have success with it. I didn't take the hormonal and used my own estrogen. I am hoping that will make a big difference in response. Time will tell.

    I do hope you remain cancer free the rest of your days. Enjoy the holidays.

    Best,

    Doris

    Seems like not so long ago sometimes, other times like a life time. Amazing how so much is measured as before bc and after.
