For those of you who are newbies starting out on this journey, I just want to say that I was diagnosed 6+ years ago with Stage IV. I had 2 rounds of chemo and 3 surgeries over the course of 2 1/2 years. It was and still is a long road, but today I found out that I am 3 1/2 years NED! I just want to give you all HOPE to BELIEVE what you are doing will work, because it can, and does. I am just one of many. I hope you all will be able to join me cause I don't mind sharing my main man NED!
Love to all,
Susan H.

    My husbands pet scan is due in May. This is the first time we have waited 6 months. A bit nervous but its been 2 years since his surgery (stage 3 rectal cancer) his scans have been every 3 months so far all clear. Very happy for you, keep up the good work!

    Thanks so much for sharing. I plan on never losing hope. I was NED for a wonderful two months...new scan next week. Maybe, I did it again...if not, just want nothing new and stable. You are so right about believing in what you are doing...my best to you. Linda
