    I love your picture...

    The ONLY date that sticks in My mind is my Last DAY of radiation.

    Each year I mention wow, 2 yrs, 3 yrs, 4 yrs...to my family they say OH...to me I do the Happy Dance...

    some go by the start of all the BC but I LIKE to remember the end...

    Cancerversary
    Kari,

    Even though I had radiation and was on tamox for a while, I consider my "cancervarsary" the day I had my last surgery.

    Just passed three years on 8/26.

    Congrats on your three years and I hope you feel a little less exhausted every day that goes by.

    Thanks for helping me clear
    Thanks for helping me clear this whole "cancerversary" thing up. I've heard it so many times and was confused as to it's actual meaning. It can be whatever you like. I like the fact that some use it as the date they became cancer free, I like that:) I don't want to celebrate the date I received the worst news of my life. I'll continue to be the warrior still fighting three years later, I like that better anyhow. Thanks for all your input and still being here for me when I've been a bad kindred lately, but I'm working on it:)
    Miles of Love,

    It's very personal, and whatever we each choose for ourselves...
    First - am always SO GLAD to find a post from you here, Kari! You are amazing, truly inspiring and continually in my most hopeful thoughts and prayers.

    After my first diagnosis - I keenly remembered several key dates. Now, with a second diagnosis mixed in, it's just too damned confusing.

    I believe it's all very personal for each of us. No one way, no right way, no wrong way. Whatever's most comfortable.

    At this point, as you do, I simply "mark" each new today - and look forward to tomorrow.

    Kind regards, Susan

    P.S.: We'll always be here for you. Always. No such thing as a 'bad kindred'... We're all free to come & go as we please, as we like, as we may need, no obligations, no strings attached. :-)
