After some long and trying times through the surgeries and the chemo/rad treatments my 1 year point has finally arrived. On 8/18/09 I got it officially, 1 year NED! Just needed to share. I wish the best to everyone else that is in the process of getting to this point also. Hang in there, it will come.

    Thanks all! Appreciate the
    Thanks all! Appreciate the comments. My personal count for being 'free' is based on my last chemo treatment date. So my date is 20 June. That is the point where all my follow ups are based on. As for the 1 year results, it actually happened at roughly the 14 month mark for me but is my 1 year reults. Good news is, it means I'm already on my way for 18 month screen... ;)

    Fantastic
    So happy to hear your good news. It's very encouraging to all of us. What Stage were you? I know those grandbabies give us strength to fight.

    I don't know how to determine if I'm NED. I think I am. My drs just say I'm stable. Will have to ask next time I see them. Surgery Oct. 14, 2007, Stage IIIc 8/38 lymph nodes positive, chemo Dec 07 to July 08. Do I go by the surgery date or the end of chemo date?
    Thanks for any info on this. I've asked this question before. I'm not sure if I should start a new post. Still learning about the forum.

    Great News
