in Breast Cancer #1

Oh my gosh, it's been 3 years since I've posted. Once my computer broke, I never replaced it (until now). The last couple of years have been filled with work and helping my Mom care form my Dad. My father passed away this past December 2016 and I've officially retired from work after 36 years.

I'm happily helping out with my grandsons and Mom as well as catching up with other family and friends. There are a few I recognize from the boards.

For those who are new to me (newbies past 3 years I was MIA), I was diagnosed between a stage 2-3 with an agressive malignant tumor back in 2005 when I was 45. My bio should still be up here somewhere giving my intro. I'm cancer free that I know. I'll be going for my appointment in September so praying all is still good. Lot's of post pain from treatments and there's always that little fear...well...let's just say I DO NOT dwell in that at all. I'm always hoping and praying ;)

I just want to extend my heartfelt prayers to all here. It's surely a road no one wants to walk but there's hope! 

 

Love,

sea60 (Sylvia)

    Hi Carol

    So far so good. I have my appointment so praying. It's good to see so many that I remember. Sadly, many new. Wishing them and all good health.

    Hi Sea60

    I'm still here, too!  I'm celebrating no more tamoxifen in a few days! Welcome back and good to hear you're fine.  Linda

    Hi Linda!

    YAY! That's reason to celebrate :D  It's interesting because after about 3 years of completing my tamoxifen, My oncologist was telling me that studies were indicating tamoxifen maybe beneficial for some extending it out to 10 years! I wasn't one of them and I was relieved! 

    Glad you're doing great :)

    Hi Mel!

    Prayers for a clear scan dear. Keep me posted please.

    I skipped a whole year so I'm scheduled to go see the oncologist as well as my regular doctor. I'll meet with my regular physician next week for blood results, then the oncologist in 2 weeks.

     

    Thanks disneyfan :D
