    Well done and here's to another 10 more for you, and hopefully hassle free. My dad had testicular cancer, prostate cancer and now bone cancer and he has been having treatment for 17 years. He is very mobile and doesn't use a walker although he does use one of those mobility scooters to go up town. He is 76, nearly 77 years old.

    Congratulations to you and your team on your achievement. Here's to many more milestones for you.

    If you don't mind me asking is it10 years since your initial breast cancer diagnosis or 10 years with metastatic disease?

    Hi,  I have been living with metastatic disease for 10 years.   When I had surgery, there was only 6 month window before bone mets showed up, so I believe I had at MBT at the beginning of my journey.
    Have a great day.

    Thanks for answering Karen and for the hope!

    I have  De Novo metastatic cancer. A 3cm lump in the breast but already a small lesion in the liver. I decided to have chemo before surgery and it was picked up on a CT scan. You and your team must be a winning combination!

    Congratulations Karen. Isn't Mitchell just gorgeous?! Was on a trial and he was one of the investigators. I am now off the trial so don't get the pleasure of Mitchell's company any more!

    Thanks Karen . It is stories like yours that reduce my fear and anxiety at times. I am normally fine but every once in a while I worry about wot if?
    You have shown us that if things dont go to plan there is a possibility there can still be a bright future.
