March 3rd is my two-year Cancerversary! Two years ago I got the diagnosis that has been over-shadowing my life!
The type of cancer I had - triple negative - has a higher rate of recurrence than most other types of breast cancer. However, it has a distinct recurrence pattern. It is mostly likely to recurr in the first three years after diagnosis. After three years, the recurrence rate drops dramatically. I will feel much better once I am past that three year mark! Of course there's no guarantee that it won't come back after three years, but the chances are greatly diminished.
So.... two down and one to go! Let's keep counting.
