11 year survivor!

Today is my 11-year cancer-free anniversary! In some ways, it feels like forever ago; in other ways, it was like yesterday. As I type this, I am tearing up thinking about the day I received the news. My Dr. told me it was stage 0, so I told family and friends, "It's like cancer." WHAT?!?!? I was in shock and couldn't process it. I don't think about it daily anymore. I feel really good and so fortunate it was caught early.

Congratulations on being 11 years cancer free! Sounds like you're doing great. I'm happy for you! It is inspiring to hear from people like you who offer hope and express gratitude instead of bitterness.

Hi all, I had my annual ultrasound this morning. After 11 years, you'd think I'd feel more comfortable with the process. The people are always friendly and encouraging, but the 5 - 10 minutes waiting for the tech to return after the initial reading seems to take forever. Thankfully, the reading went well, and I can breathe easily for another year. 😊 What helped me get through the waiting period? Nice music on my phone, some deep breathing, and positive thoughts. Let me know if I can support you through this process!

I stopped drinking entirely about two years ago after cutting back over about six months. I don't miss alcohol and I feel much better without it, but sometimes I do feel left out when everyone else is drinking. I think I have just as much fun as people who are drinking, but it does set me apart. For a little while I played along by ordering fancy non-alcoholic cocktails when we would go out, but I've stopped. They are practically as expensive as alcoholic drinks and they don't taste that great. I feel better and I look better since stopping alc...

I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma stage 2 in September 2022. I had my mastectomy at KU Indian Creek in Overland Park. I had me Chemo at Advent Health. I opted to do my chemo at Advent Health since they offered cold capping. I had my Radiation at KU main campus. I had a hysterectomy and reconstruction surgery at KU main campus.
