Today is my 5 year anniversary of surgery in 2012! 
I think that's the day you take it from, even though treatment continued until the end of the year the actual cancer was cut out and gone on April 16th.
It's such a biggie, and I know not one of my friends and family will remember -  but you all know how big it is!
This post is to give all our new sisters encouragement - all those day-by-day steps, our fears and our pain, our courage, just hanging in there at times - I hope it will help to read some good news.
I am somewhere between joy and bursting into tears.
Happy Easter everyone.
xx Michelle R xx
