I am right at the 3 year mark, and I am all good still. Yay! I had a nice chat with my onc/gyn/surgeon. She said generally speaking, recurrences happen sooner than later and 3 years is a good milestone for not recurring. That was so good to hear since my cancer was the rare clear cell/serous mixed. I will have one more ct scan in July of my lung only. I have a tiny nodule that has been there forever and never changed but she wants one last look at it. No more pelvic scans unless I develop any symptoms. My blood work was all good, my ca125 varies between 18 and 23 but is stable so that is my number range. I will still have 6 month checkups for another year.

    That's fantastic! Congrats. I had also heard that recurrences typically happen sooner as well. I'm at six months NED, so fingers crossed there. Thanks for sharing!

    I can well understand your joy at reaching the 3-year NED mark. I remember how happy I felt in reaching that milestone. I really began to feel as though I might have more years ahead of me than I had previously thought.

    It's a bit hard to celebrate this great news now in the ways we might have in the past. But I hope you can find something fun to commemorate this significant time.

    Wow! Three years is so wonderful. It is a milestone and worthy of a celebration! Okay, with covid restrictions maybe a delivery pizza and a Netflix movie?

    Nice to hear that the more time goes by the better the statistics in your favor. I like that! (( Hugs))
