    Hi Julie ..... I'll play your guessing game and I'll agree with you wholeheartedly.

    It will be 12 monthis in January since I was diagnosed and had a single mastectomy and lymph node removal.

    Not everyone's choice I must admit,but at 62 it was the logical thing for me to do.  Was fortunate that the cancer was contained in the breast and hadn't spread - as a result don't need chemo or radiotherapy.  I am back on the pill (Arimidex) for five years ... it's a small price to pay when you consider what "might have been".

    So I'll agree with you ..... I love that I can ...... spend quality time with family and friends ..... travel .... garden .... resume all of my activities and enjoy life!!!

    Take care of yourself and have a lovely New Year

    Cheers ..... Shirl xx

    Exactly Shirl! Despite that I have mets in my bones spread throughout my body I CAN still walk and get around fairly freely so I love that I can get out and about with family and friends and travel and even work a couple od days a week. So I will until I physically can't! Hopefully that is many, many years away! I even danced the new year in though the old bones are a little worse for the wear today.

    I hope the new year brings lots of love, laughter, funtimes and good health for you and your loved ones.

    Cheers,

    Julie.

    We are a fabulous group of human beings.  Never give up and enjoy everything - just toss the crap bits aside.  I am awaiting my oncology appoints in Brisbane in late January to find out what course of treatment awaits me - I know that I will have radium again and most likely chemo this time.  In the meantime I am just enjoying life.  I used to feel so sad for all the women with secondary BC but now I am one......so I am living with secondary BC as best I can.   There is still a lot of life left in me and I'm going to stretch it to the limits.....even though my prognosis is as yet unknown.  Lets all keep up the good work of ENJOYING LIVING...xLeonie
