Five year bc ladies
There is so much wonderful support and information on this site from those going thru bc treatment. Just wondering if those who have gotten past the 5 year milestone might occasionally check back in ....

Hi Roma, I too have passed my 5 year anniversary, in fact it is over 6 1/2 years since I was diagnosed. I had chemo, a double mastectomy, reconstruction and am still on medication, but I am well and enjoying life. I am currently taking Tamoxifen, having had just under 6 years of taking Femara. My bone density is not great anymore, so I have been taken off Femara and put back on Tamoxifen which is better for your bones. I still see my surgeon annually as well as my oncologist. This I am happy to do as I feel more confident having 2 check ups a year. I also have an ultrasound and bone density check each year. I do not spend much time thinking about BC anymore, which is why I only occasionally come to this site, though it does pop up at times, which I expect is pretty normal. I had a 21mm stage 2 grade 3 tumour that was ER+ and PR+.
