Looking for breast cancer survivor stories

My mother is what I consider a Breast Cancer Survivor, though "technicaly" she is living w/breast cancer in her bones. She was 1st diagnosed in 1995, had a lumpectomy, radiation, and Tamoxifan. Later a hysterectomy w/oopherectomy. Shortly after the 5 year "survivor" mark, her blood platlet count kept dropping, after much testing, it was discovered that she had "breast cancer" cells in her bone. Oh God, not metastasis.... 6 years ago all the statistics I read gave her a 16.6% chance of surviving 2 years.... It's 6+ and still counting. We are wittnessing a "miracle" daily. I believe that miracle to be Arimidex and prayer! She gets a bonescan every 6 mo. there is no more/no less cancer it is just stopped in it's tracks!!! My mother is very active and hasn't let this slow her down in any way/shape/or form. She is always looking for somthing new, a "First". Last weekend she went Mt.Biking for the 1st time!!! She is a Survivor!!

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 6 months after my younger sister (48 yrs) was diagnosed with Colon Cancer..She passed away after 2 yrs..I had a lumpectomy and radiation. Did not take the Tamoxifan. Then my brother at 60 was diagnosed with a brain tumor and passed away within the year..6 months later, a very dear friend passed away at only 26 with a brain tumor..Two years ago my dad passed away at 86..but not from cancer..
This all took place in the last 7 years..
I"m still here, and cancer free. I care for my elderly mom and have been married for 45 years..
I always maintain a positive outlook, and keep active. I"m not 65 yet...but I am a survivor.
