Clean Scan May 14- 7 year survivor, about 2 yr 7 month NED

Postby mymom » Tue May 22, 2018 8:24 pm

Hi all- mom had another clean scan. Diagnosed at stage 4 in May 2011 she had some relapses but this scan puts us at about 2 years 7 months NED. Her longest remission. We did go to the today show the next morning so we came home from NYC, slept for a bit and went back into the city next day at 4:30 am. At 72, my mom can hang. I am embarrassed to say I fell asleep on the train home at 45 and she was chatting away. She had a terrific time and we even made some air time during the meghan trainor concert. Memories.

Hope! thinking of you all.
