    Congratulations to all of 'us'
    KUDOS to you long term WARRIORS --- Zah, C.C., Cruf.

    Myself, 8/14 will be 2 years since I was told those 4 dreaded words 'You have Breast Cancer' -- However, I have been dancing with NED since January 17, 2010 -- 17 months, and 2 weeks ..

    Difficult, dark journey for me personally, several lingering side efforts continue -- however, I have met so many amazing WARRIORS in Pink -- that help guide me thru my horrific journey and battle.

    Enjoying every moment of my life ..

    How I count it
    Hi Disneyfan 2008,
    I count from the date of diagnosis...From that report my life turned onto a different road...so I count from then--July 28, 2009 for me. I am so glad that many of us have some treatment under our belts--to help others along!
    Yay!

    107 yrs 6-7 months
    Ok this may not be exact as I only used the time that was given. So since some used dx and some used end of treatment, this isn't quite as much time as it would be if we use dx but more that it would be if we used end of treatment.

    That is still a lot of years!

    Diagnosed 3/22/2010
    16.5 months since I was diagnosed. 11 months since my last chemotherapy treatment. Pronounced 'cured' June 29, 2011. Any way you count it, I am a survivor!!
    (this is the very first time I have referred to myself that way)

    Sept 09, I forgot the day, second or third week. I'd have to look it up. What a ride isn't it?

    09 for me too
    January 6th 2009 was the day I got the call. Seems like yesterday, but yet sometimes it is hard to remember life before cancer. Time does go by pretty quickly. Thankful for every day!!
