NED

Wanted to share my good news. I had NED yesterday for my scans. It's been 3 years since my adrenal tumor.

I thought ya'll might be interested in my doc's prognosis. When I had the metastasis to my adrenal 3 years ago, doctor said I had a 66% chance of it coming back somewhere. I got another opinion and the other oncologist said somewhere between 50-66% chance.

My doc hasn't been willing to give me a percentage the past few years, but yesterday I pushed him a little and he said the risk is more like 10-20% now. I'm quite happy with that. It's similar to my risk after my nephrectomy (which was stage 3 grade 3) 5 years ago.

Now I have to get back on my food plan and exercise plan which I fell off of over the holidays. Gained 2/3 of the weight I lost last year back. I want to get back where I was. I felt a lot better at the lower weight.

Peace,

Todd
