5 Years NED

Well it's been five years since my July 2011 T3N0M0 diagnosis.  The tumor was located near the trachea and I went through the standard chemo and radiation and was NED in October 2011.  Four months later followed up with 3 1/2 months of weekly Taxol infusions.  No surgery required in my case.  Doesn't get any better than that!
