what date do you use to be your NED date? Is it the last day of chemo if no cancer is showing on scans or some other date.

    My onc and surgeon use
    date of surgery if all 'known' cancer was removed at that time. So, I was Stage III and NED on Jan. 7th, 2009 and after CEA on Dec. 15th. Yearly CT Scan and four month blood work to be done in early April.
