Great news Aroma!
I’m another bone mets lady from the class of 2006, had my 6-year cancerversary in August. Yes I remember expecting to be bedridden by Christmas 2006…
… but at the moment I’m doing well on treatment (Xeloda), bone and also liver mets stable - and I’ve had two grandchildren, and seen my son’s weddng, since my diagnosis.
(Slightly off-topic: I found this when looking through latest posts while waiting in a phone queue for someone to answer… this post was on page 4 of 285 pages in Latest Replies, so I’m glad to bump it!!)
Hi there,
I am reasonably new to this game. I was diagnosed in April this year but i’m doing really well. I have already had chemo which i finished on the 18th September. I am now half way through radiotherapy and have 17 Hreceptins to go…lol.
I just want to say that reading posts like yours makes me feel a lot more positive. It is wonderful news that this is your 6th Anniversary…well done.You are truly an inspiration. Keep on smiling and enjoy life to the full…

This is such encouraging news, thank you for posting. So good to read posts from long term survivors. I think there should be a thread for stage 4 people who have survived for more than 5 years to give regular updates. This would be such a boost for those newly diagnosed with secondaries, or undergoing treatment.
Hi Lemongrove, It certainly does give us newbies a huge boost. I have had a very positive attitude all the way through this horrendous journey. it is surprising how strong we get. Good luck to everyone no matter what their diagnosis. We will beat this bugger…
