New Labels

  This evening I went to support group.  My question was...what do I "label" myself now?  (I was told I no longer label myself as stage IV breast cancer.)  I don't know what to tell every new face I meet that ask.  So here is my one liner:  I was treated for metastatic stage IV breast cancer in 2009.  I am in remission and continue treatments to keep it that way.  Okay that is two lines.  Point is, I HAD cancer, past tense.  (Okay, so yes, there are still rouge cells needing a lashing...but we will just be positive, and say they will never go to the Dark Side)
