3 years on…
3 years on… Today, St. George’s Day, is the third anniversary of the day I found a lump in my breast whilst showering.
For all those who have recently found a lump, or are going through treatment, I just wanted to wish you well. To those who were diagnosed around the same time, I hope you remain well. I feel, somehow, that this a milestone I wasn’t sure I’d reach. I’m very glad I have!
Best wishes

Great to hear your excellent news. We all need to hear those positive stories. I am 9 months post diagnosis and although you should not wish the years away I do hope I will be posting positive stuff in the years to come.
Stay well.
Love Geraldine45

Three years five months and seven days and I’m still here and still NED Just had my checkup today and can’t beleave I’m this far down the line - Yipee!!!
Me too … Hi Sarah
I am almost 3 years since diagnosis too and can remember those dark days during chemo when I managed to convince myself that it had spread and the worst possible scenarios spun round in my head.
I have remained NED since treatment ended and following my annual mammogram recently, all was well and my consultant actually said that he now considers me to be “at low risk”. Three little words which mean such a lot and which I never thought I’d hear 3 years ago.
So I wish you all the best and join you in wishing everyone well, whatever stage they are at in this journey we find ourselves on.
Best wishes

Me too - 3 years 3 months I’m just over three years from diagnosis. At the time with the prognosis I had I really didn’t think I would be around 3 years on. However, at the moment I feel relatively well. Every ache and pain I worry about but then again I am a born worrier - or so my husband tells me…
I think I have now found a new normal - hope that makes sense! I intend to do all the things I need to do now. I just don’t want to have any regrets about the things I didn’t do…
The only thing I am thankful for having cancer - is that I now know who my true friends are. Also I have met some fantastic new friends who I would never have known.
So to all newly diagnosed I can remember well how desperate and helpless I felt when first diagnosed. Just to tell you that life really does get better, eventually.
Take care

hi Just though i’d add i am 3 years 3 months since diagnosis, still ned there was no way i thought i would get here was grade 3 6 nodes involved with 3 cm tumour. Life does get better and it still goes on so to those who was just starting their journey keep your chin up you will return to somewhat normality again. I am 39 and coming up to my 40th in a few months am planning a big celebration wey hey.
