My wife---21 year survivor this week (breast cancer).

It was diagnosed 2 weeks before she turned 40, so she is the only woman around who says every birthday is better since then.

Take heart, folks.

7. Whoo Hoo

Congratulations to both you and your wife. She's one heck of a woman. I am a seven year survivor and cannot believe how much treatment has improved since my time. I can't imagine what she went through. Celebrate!!!

9. You have given a lot of people here a lot of hope. Thanks.

We hear the 5, 8 and 10 year survival stories, but rarely one like your wife's.
