I'm Lisa and I would have to say I have been NED since April this year (kind of feels like I am at an AAA meeting
). That was when I had my first post chemo CT scan and colonoscopy and all was clear. I continue to see my onc every 3 months and my rad/onc every 6 months, though I did talk my onc into letting me see her every 6 months as well, starting in January so that I can alternate between the two.
One question I have for you all- my GI doctor said that since my colonoscopy was clear, no sign of cancer, and no polyps, etc. I didn't need to have another one for 3 years- is that normal? I was told it was, though I still feel uneasy about it. I was told a yearly CT scan was enough.
Feeling great and hope to continue...
