Hi all, I was diagnosed in Dec 2007 (one week b4 xmas). Had chemo to shrink tumour and then surgery to remove what was left and then had radiotherapy. Given 5 years of tamoxifen but last year it was extended to 10 years. I am here if anyone wants a chat. Keep fighting the fight. xoxox

Love to hear these stories. For me it has been 6 years since my diagnosis and close to 5 since I finished treatment for Stage 2B. I will continue for another 4 years on Femera but so far do not have too bad a time with it. I still get scared when I have appointments or any kind or physical ailment but otherwise there are times when I go days without thinking about breast cancer. Never thought that would happen as in the beginning it is so all encompassing and like a black cloud following you. So it does get better with time.
