Hi everyone I was diagnosed with triple negative stage two in March 2016 and I finished my chemo and everything August 30, 2016 and I had the double mastectomy September 30, 2016 this is now December 9, 2025 and I have been doing good every once in a while my hand may go to sleep when I go to sleep. I do get fatigue sometime every once in a while I have pain in my leg and I figured it’s arthritis. I am 67 years old. I am blessed my cancer was caught early, which was a blessing. I have fantastic doctors and a wonderful surgeon. It took very good care of me.

What a wonderful milestone to reach - nine years is truly something to celebrate! The experiences mentioned like occasional fatigue and minor aches are quite common for long-term survivors, and it sounds like having such a supportive medical team has made all the difference in this journey. Many others in this community would love to hear more about how you've navigated the years since treatment and what has helped you maintain such a positive outlook.
