Hi everyone! I used to be a regular here, and got busy doing other things. My 5-year anniversary is coming up soon and I wanted to share with those of you still in treatment how beautiful life is after you are done. When I was in the middle of chemo treatments, at times I wondered if my life would ever get back to normal. Well, it never returned back to normal. My life is 10 times better than it ever was before! I have a new appreciation for the little moments of happiness, I have discovered new things, new tastes, made new friends... That is all I wish for all of you! So hang in there, it will get better!

Have a great day, and big hugs to all of you!
Cat

    Best wishes to you. Congratulations, too.

    I have finished the treatments at end of Dec.2003 and going through the reconstruction process now. This is my 2nd diagnosis in 3 yrs.

    Thanks for the encouragement. I know it will not be normal as I once knew my life from 1st dx to 2nd dx and anything before or in between. It is such a long treatment and recovery process that you wonder if it will ever be done and some type of routine will ever return.

    I am looking forward to life being far better than before, as you say 10 times better.

    Your words of encouragement have come at a perfect time and I THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Take care.

    Thank You! I'm just 5 days out of 3rd cycle of chemo (half-way done with chemo!!!). So, I really needed that! I'm actually looking forward to radiation, because it means chemo is over!!! Congratulations, and I look forward to my 5 years and every year in between! I'm already enjoying life more on my 2 weeks off of treatment.
    Again, thanks for the good news!
