    congrats on the NED! I was wondering how long remission has been for u? and if u were on any type of maintenance medication i.e. Avastin, or something like that? Your story sounds similar to mine and I was just curious.

    Sincerely,
    Averi

    Averi, I was Stage IIB with no lymph nodes involved and no metasteses. I had the surgery last July and did five out of 12 rounds of Folfox 6 before quitting. Although the doctors considered me "in remission" since surgery, the CT scan six months out makes it more "official."

Anyway again congratulations and enjoy life. Lots of hugs.

    Congradulations Patrusha-

    Couldn't be happier for you!! Here's to a healthier New Year for you.
    God bless-
    ValerieC

    A healthier New Year... does that mean I have to exercise?! LOL!!! OK, OK, just kidding. I know exercise helps keep the beast away. I'm working on it. Sorry to hear your mom's surgery has been postponed. Mama has a good guard dog in you, Valerie. You go girl.

    Fantastic! I just got my CEA back with a 0.9 and I feel like I singing and dancing. NED can make you a little drunk with happiness just being in his presence. jams

    NED is definitely very powerful, jams. Definitely powerful. So are spongebob's margaritas, though (or so I hear).

    I'm not so sure a job is just around the corner, but being NED I don't care at the moment. Just enjoying the time off, thanks to my former employer! LOL!

    Hello Patrusha,
    CONGRATULATIONS! You and I have been neck and neck through this whole thing - surgery, chemo and NED at the same time. I was just restaged NED last Friday. Isn't it great? Wishing you a healthly and happy 2007. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, Sister.
    Katie

    Congratulations back at you, Katie. A happy and healthy 2007 to you as well. To all of us!

    That's wonderful news. I know there was alot of anxiety about making the chemo decisions and isn't it so nice to be NED?

    ****

    Yeah, to think I sweated over that chemo decision. Looks like it all worked out though.
