What wonderful news! It does give others hope to see happy posts. I'm also stage IIIC & just finished treatment and had my first scan. (Clear, thank goodness!) Five years seems like an eternity right now so your news not only gave me hope, it feels fantastic to see good news here. My PCP doc calls clear mammograms "happy" ones. We should definitely have a "happy scan dance". Happy dancin' for you & hubby. :lol: XXOXO, Delinda
