    That's great!

    Congratulations! Keep us posted on 'maintenance chemo.' Not sure what that means when you're NED and it's effectiveness for overall survival. Anyway, good for you!

    NED and chemo

    While they say you're NED because the PET scan doesn't show activity and no visible tumors, they still suspect cancer is there at a smaller cellular level.  I'm in the same boat as you, 13 treatments and NED.  I'm currently doing what they call maintenance chemo at a lower dose with Avastin, but am wondering how long I want to do that vs. take a break for a while.  My onc told me that if I stop chemo then almpost 100% chance it will come back.  What he didn't tell me is what's the percent chance it will come back if I remain on maintenance chemo.  I'd be interested in hearing how that differs from your doctors opinion/explanation.  Great news, and I hope you stay in NED long term.
