Q: 

I was diagnosed last October and had a bi-lateral mastectomy last November. Am I classified as a "survivor" or is that after the 5 years?

Maybe not technically by the medical profession but you are a survivor! I have been dealing with it for four years, but I refuse to believe anything different!
