Went through this last year. I go next week for a one year follow up mamo. Breast Care Centers are the BEST. Great people and they know what they are doing. Even when it's not the best news they have a plan which helps. I finished up radiation the middle of last July.
|
I went through all of this 5 years ago, surgery, chemo and radiation. I can definitely relate to how you are feeling. So glad there is another survivor out there that has beaten this awful disease. Hope some day no one will have to go through it. I am rejoicing with you that your treatments are done and you can begin to regain strength and stamina to do all those things that you had to put on hold.
|
I am so very happpy for you. That's wonderful news. May God be with you and keep you healthy for the rest of your life. And may He be with anyone else here (or elsewhere) going through the same thing. I had 2 close calls myself and know the fear and don't ever want another to have to endure that. Let's all raise our glasses (tea cups, whatever) to good friends and good health!

Good for you :D :D :D I'm a 10 year survivor and I'm here to tell you that many days I don't even think about it anymore. Life does get back to normal!! Although I'm mindful about being vigilant with check-ups and mammos, I still think self exams are vitally important for all women, that's how mine was found. For all of you out there awaiting results, one way or the other, you'll be OK. And you'll be in control. Its the not knowing part that makes us nuts!!
Again, congrats :thumbup: :thumbup: Life is good! |
Yay!! Congratulations, that is excellent news!!!
|
Oh I am so happy for you, my aunt is gone threw it again. you shout as loud as you want. Penny

Congratulations!!! Doing the Happy Dance for you!!! :) :)

HI All Thumbs, So happy with you.
I thank God first for sending me the best Dr for me and knowing what to do and getting me through two kinds of brest cancer and later cancer on my foot. I know that if not for God I probably would not be here. YOu have a lot of good healthy life to look forward to as we are all doing. You have found one of the most suportive room you will ever see on the internet. God bless you and all the one's in this awfull part at life that has tossed to us. We will surive. Connie NIce quilt's and loved the Christmas stockings... don't know why but I like stockings. |
Praise God. My mom recently finished chemo and radiation. Her sister is beginning radiation next week. I think it's environmental. Best wishes to you!!
|
Wonderful news. I'm 7 years post surgery and radiation. Every day is a blessing. Enjoy your quilting. I think I treated myself to a quilt shop purchase when I completed my treatment!
|
WOO HOO. I am a "10 year" survivor. Did the radiation and 5 years of meds and am doing GREAT...... Live every day, one day at a time and keep positive. OH, AND SEW, SEW, SEW.........

They are sending me to a breast cancer center too for my tests so maybe that's not as ominous as it sounds. They also told me I'd get my results while I'm there and to be sure to ask for the cd of the tests so I can take it to my other doctors if needed. Sounds as if we're being told the same info. That's reassuring a little. I go on 3-11-10. I'll be keeping good thoughts for you on 3-12-10. Let me know how yours turns out, OK? Rosanne--I am praying your mammograms tomorrow turn out as well as mine. Let us know. |
Congratulations! What a wonderful graduation day. Keep quilting, it's a wonderful relaxation and therapy. Far less side effects than nerve pills and better results. You will be fine and be turning out works of quilted beauty for many years to come.
|
Congratulations! As a 10 year survivor, I understand the elation that you are feeling. Every day I thank God that he saw fit to heal me.
|
Fantastic news!! Good for you and your family!!
|
Congrats .Very Happy for you.
|
Get some rest and relax a little--you've earned it.
|
Congrats and prayig your next five years goes without a hitch!!!
|
Congratulations! I finished my radiation end of May and have been on the pill since June last year. So far so good, and no side effects that I am aware of! It's great to be done with the radiation, isn't it?
|
Congratulations! The last day of treatment is one you'll never forget! I'm a BC survivor, too, and I just got my 3rd haircut since finishing treatment.
|
WTG!!!!! Congradulations on a job well done. We have been down this road with my SIL and I know difficult it has been for you and DH. My prayers are with you for a full remission
|
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you. I am a 21 year survivor of breast cancer and I thank the Lord every day that I am still an active, alive woman.
|
How wonderful for you. My DS finishes her radiation next Wed. and we are all counting the days when we can say "Hurrah" I understand your joy!
|
CONGRATULATIONS! What a great post to be finished with your treatment. Wishing you & all of you Quilting Sisters the very best of health.
|
God has truely Blessed you. And will keep on blessing and blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Congratulations! I, too, am fighting the fight. I had a mastectomy last Feb., but I had to have chemo instead of radiation. It made me very sick and I have been working through that. I had my final reconstructive surgery this week and THEN I SHOULD BE DONE! Looking forward to helping others through whatever they may need help getting through. I have a five year plan of meds as well. Hoping that keeps that old intruder at bay!
I will pray for your continued blessing. Marilyn |
Marilyn, this sounds like great news for you.
This thread was started by All Thumbs sharing her story and so many people have added their story, which is great. It's got to be wonderful for all those going through it to see what others are going through as well. You are all very inspirational. Good luck to everyone! |
Great news. Congrats! I am so very happy for you!
And good luck for every one. Big hugs from Maks |
YEAAAAAA! I have been there and done that a number of years ago. Now just forget about it...and get to quilting!! Don't let it get anymore of your attention! Really thrilled for you!
|
Congratulations. YAHOO!! Quilting will definately relax you. Best health wishes.
|
Congrats to you and to all those who have experienced and are expriencing the same.. many blessings and prayers to each.
|
Congrats to you, and DH and doggie too! Happy household and time to celebrate with a fabric shopping spree :XD:
Luvs and prayers to all that are going through it and have been there. Have a brother that had Hodgkins and you need to celebrate when you finish something like that. Let the happiness flood your heart and soul to the max, and new fabs are just the thing to go with :D |
This is good news!!!
|
Good for you! I am just starting my journey thru this! Thank you and all the other ladies for sharing.

I am so relieved it is finally over and pray that the five-year plan of medications will keep me cancer free so I can continue to quilt every day. My dh is even talking to our dog saying, Isn't this a good day, momma doesn't have to take any more treatments. And then he lets out a big sigh. lol So, my new chatting friends, thank you for letting me shout it from the roof tops............and may all those other women who have breast cancer keep a positive attitude and have the good fortune that I have had.

What wonderful news... every day we look to celebrate the defeat of cancer in someone. My sister and brother both died of cancer. I am always on the lookout for signs. Had to have a magnification mammo last month but the said, "probably benign" calcium deposits...go back in August for retake. Celebrating your wonderful news with all women!

Prayers going up and out for all who have health issues... no matter what they may be.... May God wrap his loving arms around you and protect you from all harm.

Yes, get those mammos! But do the self exams, too. That's the only way I found mine. My 3.5cm tumor was lobular, one of the 5% of all cancerous tumors that DON'T show up on mammos! I found it when it finally crept our from under the aerola, a naturally 'bumpy' part of our breats. Lobular tumors DO show on ultrasounds and MRIs. Fortunately, lobular cancer is VERY slow growing and my doctor told me mine took YEARS to get to 3.5cm. It did not reach my lymph nodes, thank goodness, so it was classified stage IIa despite the large size. I was very fortunate, and I had chemo, but I didn't have radiation. I'm on anti-hormone meds for another 4 years, and I'm feeling great (except for my lousy shoulder, which has nothing to do with cancer!).
