My 5-year Cancerversary is on 8 April, when I got my Dx. I was officially NED on 30 Sept when I was 'skeletonised', as the BS called it because he had to remove the muscle and everything. So my 5 year NED is from then. I had a year on Tam, then a blood test said that I was low on Ca and Vit D so I've been on supplements since 2012. I then had three years on Exemestane which was hell so I've been changed back onto Tam for 10 years. I now have osteoporosis. I've had OA in my upper spine since I was in my early 20s and after an MRI last year when i was in horrid pain, I now have Dengerative Disc Disease (DDD). I've just had a slipped disc which was truly hideous and it may recur at any time. My head sometimes wobbles - the GP said that it is because my spine is degenerating so much that's it's becomg less stable. Deep joy! Yet I am alive - I do stuff that sofa-hugging healthy friends wouldn't dream of doing and I intend to go out of this life having a good time. Nay, a great time. Sending hugs - but gentle ones, don't snap my back, lol
