    It's a term the cancer
    It's a term the cancer community borrowed from medicine. When a radiologist reads someone's films and writes his/her report, he/she will traditionally write "NED" if there is "no evidence of disease". We call remission "dancing with NED", meaning that we have had scans/tests to check for the presence or absence of tumors and none were found.
