Hi-I posted few things the other day and caused un-intended commotion! I had cancer 2008-surgery & radiation (daily 8 wks). I took 2 wks off post surgery & worked daily throught treatments. (last one June 28, 2008)That is the ONLY date I remember-not the start, not the call to tell me or my surgery. (which is not like me since I remember every day for anything) My family and friends were great!

So Hello to everyone-!

    topics
    If I am posting or starting topic I shouldn't let me know. This is all new to me!

    I kind of feel guilty per say being here-I have not gone through a lot of many here-I can relate-send good wishes to everyone but MINE so easy compared. I felt that way when in waiting room for treatments. Listening to many stories -mine was so little compared. I feel very lucky, happy I never missed any annaul check ups etc.
    At the time of my cancer etc-my UC was at it's worst ever in 17 yrs-and menopause at the same time...but I must say since taking tamoxifen my UC is GREAT-total remission. So something good came out of this!

    Welcome to the board!!!

    (I use my first diagnosis date...Thanksgiving, 2004, and my last treatment date, 2006 interchangably as my survival date...it really doesn't matter...I'm just happy to wake up each morning!!!)

    Welcome Disney
    I too am a Disney fan. Hubby and I went to Disney for our honeymoon in 1975. We took our kids there 3 times and went back for our 30th wedding anniversary. Hope to take the Disney cruise for our 40th.

    Glad to hear from someone who has been through bc and is still surviving! I haven't worked for the past 3 years due to a disability. I'm 61 and the 5th in my family with bc. My sister just had a recurrence after 9 years and is about to start targeted rads tomorrow where she only goes 5 days, 2x/day.

    I started going to dinsey
    I started going to dinsey the year it opened 1971 and have not stopped..we joined DVC (disney vacation club aka time share). My Dream of all Dreams is disney Cruise. We just went for our 25th anniversary (our first trip alone no kids or grandkids) I am the one and only with BC in my family-happy to say!

    This site is great...my cancer 2008-never really looked online ..just came across this I think maybe an email from cancer support group I went to (ref: MY job-legal rights etc)

    NO I am addicted to Disney World in Florida! Even though I have been more times then I can count...my treat to myself after radiation was girls week and it was great. As I laid on the table daily for treatments (even though no pain, not bad etc) I just thought Mickey Mickey mickey...helped me..
