Ladies,
 
I am happy to say that today marks 4 YEARS  for me.  One more year to that 5th year.  My how time flies.  Happy to report that things have been going well for me.  I see my Onc on April 27th for 6 month check up.
 
Planning on doing some SHOPPING tonight to mark this milestone!

Congratulations on the 4 years! NN, I also count from the day of my surgery...but each one of the days along the way I do think and remember the fear, worry and panic I felt.

Congrats..YIPPEE, Hooray... I just got home from hospital, 2 days...for PET Scan, MRI and so many other tests along with Zometa Treatment. All good news....I am cancer free, and my osteoporosis is getting way better so after next 4 month check might be able to go into 6 months yeah. I reach my 3 year survivor mark May 8th which is my date of surgery. I found my lump on Easter Sunday which changes but either way Easter not a great holiday for me... I love these posts of survivorship., gives us all hope...:)
