Feel like I tempt fate when I post these anniversaries but I know how I clung to these stories when I was diagnosed. I had a mx on the 1st of December 2006. It was 4.5 cm I had 4 lymph nodes infected plus vascular invasion. I was also her2 positive. Not a good dx but then no dx of bc is good is it? I ended up in hospital three times with neutrapenia despite having injections to help immune system.I am now 60 and still work in my old job. I have had 5 more grandchildren to add to the one I already had. Life is wonderful and although there is no guarantee that it will not rear it’s ugly head again, I manage to push bc to the back of my mind. Saying this I am also aware that there are women battling with secondaries and I do think about them often. I hope that my post helps to all who have just found themselves in a very scary place this christmas love to you all old friends and new Eileen
I’m glad to read that Eileen.
I was diagnosed in October 2006 (after initially being told a month before that I just had a fibroid - there was no cancer on my test results, despite it being in one of my lymph nodes). I was also found to be Her2 positive. I’ve just had my yearly mammogram and all is fine and well.
I have a very different life now as I retrained and am in a business partnership with my husband. I also work from an office at home, which is great in this weather :-))Next year I have my silver wedding, my 50th birthday and fingers crossed the end of the 5 year remission period. So it will be a very momentous and emotional year I think.
Hi Cherub I have kept up with your posts since I was first on the site 4 years ago. Hope you have a wonderful year next year. thanks for commenting on my post xx

Love to you and all the very best for a happy,healthy,future.

Hello Eileen, Horace and Cherub
I was diagnosed on 15th December 2006 so my 4 year anniversary is next week. I’m doing well except for rapidly thinning bones as a result of Aromasin, but I’m enjoying life and keeping busy.
Eileen I remember your posts very well and they often made me laugh. I think we used to have chemo on the same day - Tuesday ? It was great to have someone to compare notes with.
Much love to everyone. Anthi x
must be my age but I post then don’t remember or know how to find it again. Lovely to hear from Anth Horace and Cherub. I do pop in and out but was always a thickie so don’t like to offer too much advice. Had terrible bout of flu so haven’t been on for weeks. Take care my friends and hope it will be a good year for us xx
