I concur with everyone here and say CELEBRATE! It's no small taters to make it five years out. Thank the Lord and do a jig.

God bless ~

When i was diagnosed I prayed for just five more years, once i reached five i was so happy that i didn't care about the fact that I had mets almost every year since diagnosis...i was just thrilled to be around and threw a party for all my friends and family.

CELEBRATE!

If you don't have chemo on your calendar, it's definitely time to celebrate.
