    congrats on the NED! I was wondering how long remission has been for u? and if u were on any type of maintenance medication i.e. Avastin, or something like that? Your story sounds similar to mine and I was just curious.

    Sincerely,
    Averi

    Averi, I was Stage IIB with no lymph nodes involved and no metasteses. I had the surgery last July and did five out of 12 rounds of Folfox 6 before quitting. Although the doctors considered me "in remission" since surgery, the CT scan six months out makes it more "official."

    Hi Patrusha I am so happy for you,and of course you are starting to get your life back, that sounds so good I am hoping that pretty soon I could be posting too,DANCING WITH NED as I'm getting closer to the end of chemo I began the New Year a little bit anxious,and I don't know why not very optimistic. Anyway again congratulations and enjoy life. Lots of hugs.

    Betina, my ex-chemo buddy! I am so glad you are getting near the end of that part of your journey. Let us know how it goes.

    Congradulations Patrusha-

    Couldn't be happier for you!! Here's to a healthier New Year for you.
    God bless-

    A healthier New Year... does that mean I have to exercise?! LOL!!! OK, OK, just kidding. I know exercise helps keep the beast away. I'm working on it. Sorry to hear your mom's surgery has been postponed. Mama has a good guard dog in you, Valerie. You go girl.

    Fantastic! I just got my CEA back with a 0.9 and I feel like I singing and dancing. NED can make you a little drunk with happiness just being in his presence. jams

    NED is definitely very powerful, jams. Definitely powerful. So are spongebob's margaritas, though (or so I hear).

    I'm not so sure a job is just around the corner, but being NED I don't care at the moment. Just enjoying the time off, thanks to my former employer! LOL!

    Hello Patrusha,
    CONGRATULATIONS! You and I have been neck and neck through this whole thing - surgery, chemo and NED at the same time. I was just restaged NED last Friday. Isn't it great? Wishing you a healthly and happy 2007. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, Sister.
    Katie

    Congratulations back at you, Katie. A happy and healthy 2007 to you as well. To all of us!

    That's wonderful news. I know there was alot of anxiety about making the chemo decisions and isn't it so nice to be NED?

    ****

    Yeah, to think I sweated over that chemo decision. Looks like it all worked out though.
