Birthday Date?
Hi Girls,
This is the first time I have written anything so here goes.
When do you say when your birthday date is for being cancer free?
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last March 2012.

No confusion here, brain maybe a tad cloudy but still working ok as far as i can tell :)
I was diagnosed on Friday 13th December 1993. underwent a mastectomy 17th 1993 and finished treatment mid may 1994.
I have always celebrated my birthday on the day of my mastectomy. I look on it as that was the day i regained my life by removing the cancer from my body.
I celebrate this date every year- sometimes with my family, sometimes friends and sometimes alone.
Many women celebrate different days - day of diagnosis or end of treatment.
I dont think it matters what date you celebrate, as long as you acknowledge the fact that you survived and am still here and living well.
take care and good luck
