    Well done. I'm 4 years on too, 5 in October fingers crossed. As you say, it seems such a long haul from the newly diagnosed end, but no time at all from this end.

    Wonderful news Soldier Crab!  So you are not seen after 5yrs?? Really? My Mum was reviewed for 20yrs. Im 6yrs and only as had recurrence at 4yr mark, though my Oncologist and Surgeon  said i will always be reviewed. I thought id stop seeing him and my Surgeon at some point but they said No?

     it is the light at the end of the tunnel sense... it does give the newbies hope... as I know when I read about someone conquering it while I was a newbie it gave me hope.

    Keep safe everyone particularly @soldiercrab. This is Black Saturday kind of weather in NSW, so don't take any risks.
