and now I am a survivor ?

5 years - 5 years of tests, treatment, scans - everything to eradicate this alien from my body.
Now I have had my 5 years scan and nothing !!! nothing at all !! I am clear again.  It's weird. My surgeon said goodbye, I hope we never meet again. I see my onc in a couple of weeks and I am hoping she says the same.
I watched Kym's video on fear of recurrence, and I know it will always be there for me too. Every cough, every twinge, sends me scurrying to the doc for an xray or a CT.  She doesn't mind, she is happy for me to be reassured. Bless them all.

I have been fortunate, mine was found early by Breastscreen Tas - they saved my life.

I have known some brave and wonderful people over the past 5 years, I have lost some friends.  I know all of them are thrilled that I am a survivor. Without my family I would not have got through with any sanity. They have been here for me every step.

For all of you lovely ladies who are just starting out, or who are in the middle, or struggling with secondaries - my good wishes are with you all. May more of us be survivors.
