cont.) I saw my Radiation people today for a one year followup and asked them. They said once treatment(s) is/are done so that throws me back 7 months but in saying that I was told you are a survivor from whatever date you use. My Christmas card reflects the day I got my diagnosis, oh well.
As far as I have been told and I believe, every day since diagnosis counts. We have all been through the ringer so why short change ourselves. Just my thoughts!
I have been told by the nurses while going through Chemo it is the day you were diagnosed but I don't think that there is any "rule" as to what date you go by.
