5 years Cancer free - Mammogram today Yikes!

5 years ago I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.  Breast cancer.  I had the full meal deal.

two separate surgeries, chemo, radiation and the drug Tamoxifen for five years.  I've been blessed with five years of extra life!!  Today is my mammogram, this always gets me a bit jittery.  I'm pretty sure I'm ok, but still anxious to know results.  During that time I stopped smoking for two 3 month periods.  Those were the longest quits I had.  I am trying so hard to be successful this time around.  The people here at EX have blessed me with great support.  Every day I read inspiring messages of those who are making and keeping their quits, whether they are newbies or  Elders.  I will continue to do my best here to suceed.  Smoking isn't the answer it never was.  I am now proud to say I am a non-smoker.  My quit is very early, but am taking steps to get through the week.  Onward and Upward, right?  Thanks everyone for being here for me!

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
