3 years NED

ConnieSW

Hi, Cindy. NED is “no evidence of disease” which is what we all strive for after treatment.

No Evidence of Disease = NED

NED means "no evidence of disease," and is an acronym (as you can see). It's a good outcome when you are doing a follow-up with oncologist. If you go into the "breast cancer" discussion group, they have a list of acronyms at the top of the page. There you go!

Congratulations 3years NED, super. I bet your happy about that. The last time I was on here it was the old format. I came on here today and it’s different, and not in a good way. I liked the other format better.

So sorry for not celebrating with you Cheryl. I have found myself coming here less often. I am not a cheerleader, emotional type but your post reminded me how important it is to be here for each other.

Many hugs!

Nice to hear from you Deb1. We think of all our sisters but understand when a break is needed.

3 years is amazing I love those initials NED- it stands for No Evidence of Disease, we long for those words every CT scan or PET scan God bless everyone.

Hopeful Cindy,

I had that same question last year when I joined the site. It means No Evidence of Disease on a scan, My scans have never expressed it quite that way but rather as no enlarged lymph nodes or no inflamed lymph nodes or no sign of metastases. All great phrases which I interpret as NED.
