I counted from original diagnosis, but all the checkups counted from the end of treatment. I have just had my final radiation check up - 5 years on. IDC, wide excision, 9mm Her 2 +, EP+, 6 rounds TCH, Herceptin for the rest of the year, 30 rounds radiaiton, 5 years Arimidex.
All done, all finished ! I was hopeful at around 3 years I think - totally frightened to then. My GP tells me when I get to 15 years with no recurrence I can truly count myself as safe. Roll on 2028 !!
Stay focussed, stay positive, live every minute of your life.
