I believe this is a personal decision for each survivor. I use the date I completed chemo because that was such a day to remember for me. I looked forward to it during alll treatments and now I am thankfully able to look back at it and feel a true sense of blessing. I am thankful to God for my doctors, nurses, friends and family for getting me to that date. It really doesn't matter what date you use as long as you survive.0

What matters is YOU ARE A SURVIVOR!

As others commented, everyone seems to use a different date (date diagnosed, date of surgery, date all treatments were completed). I use the date I was first diagnosed, but it's purely personal choice. I agree though that it little matters how we calculate our anniversaries....what's important is that we're still here. Hooray!

Yes there are so many days to choose from. But if you think about it we have the fight of our lives beginning on the day we were diagnosed. Myself I picked this day because if you can survive the waiting after the tests are done then you can survive anything. Just my thought...
