Kathy,

My NED is only 4 months behind your own. I was diagnosed in 11/08 but had my HAI pump and surgery in 2/09 and have been NED since. I saw Dr. K last Monday to get my yearly scan results and I brought her a beautiful orchid. I called my husband after to tell him about my appointment (he didn't go as we already knew the NED results from the portal) and he said, "why did you get her an orchid when they are all over that place?!" But she said she loved it and would take it home and I insisted on giving the woman that saved my life a hug. Love her!
