    @arpie @Giovanna_BCNA @nikkid @Anne65  @Keeping_positive1 @CarmelS @poodlejules thank you!! 

    @arpie I'd usually ask after seeing the Oncologist then do 6 weeks off and go back on. So I'd say I probably do this at least twice a year, I'm on Aromasin. It does help, I do have the added bonus of being on Prolia which gives added protection strangely. Its one of those funny things, does the Aromasin actually help? who knows or am I just lucky, as I had a recurrence on Tamoxifen, so the jury is out lol. For my sanity moreso I need the breaks, I would say any Oncologist wouldnt recommend this however.

    @nikkid you are the BEST! I love it 55 oooh though I'd be over 100 yikes! lol

    @Keeping_positive1 thank you, this is why I wanted to post, it is damn hard for anyone going through it, but sometimes good things happen too, I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going. 

    @Anne65 I think if anything I have complete humility, I take nothing for granted and I acknowledge that whilst our paths are different, all going through this is damn HARD!

    @CarmelS Great about the 9 years, I do hope somehow you find a way to the finish line with your Recon, it is important to feel there's an ending at some point, I agree. 

    @poodlejules Thanks! Happy 2020! to you too!

    Hugs everyone xoxoxo
