    My rads onco referred to me as "in remission." My medical onco says of my bloodwork "nothing of concern."

    So, not sure. I just take it to mean NED.

    HI Denise, it sounds like you have been dancing with NED for three years. WooHoo!! I do know what you're saying though, my Doc just told me to "live my life" but never said remission. So I did just that for 6 months.

    I am soso Happy for you!!!
    I wasn't formerly introduced with Ned either but that didn't hold me
    from grabbing him and asking him for a long awaiting dance. Introductions
    were short and made on the dance floor, he was taken aback about how
    daring I was to have demanded my dance.. (:

    So dance away, he's all yours!!!!

    Love,
    Ayse

    Dance the night away ... !!! NED is it! 3 years and going
    strong. Sometimes, I think we as patience need to take the lead, and ask questions, until we get the answers we are searching for.

    My Oncologist scrambles when he sees me, cuz he knows I will ask many many questions.
