Anniversary Date

Hi All

Could someone tell me when you start your Anniversary date, is the Date you were told you had Cancer or does it start from the end of all your treatment? Each time I see my Doctors I forget to ask as I'm always talking about other things. Sorry if this sounds lame but I'm either two years or 15 months, as I was told three years for three monthly checks then once a year from then.

  • Hi Jen,

    People seem to have different anniversary dates - your question gets asked here, on US sites, and UK sites as well!  The general consensus seems to be taken from the date of surgery, when the actual cancer is removed.  I take mine from that date.  Different treatments take different times, but the surgery date is fixed. If your doctors say otherwise, please share with us!  Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary!  xx Michelle
