Back from Mayo and got the all clear and see you in 6 more months talk!

While I was there they asked if I would be part of a research project that is looking at a potential blood test that can detect recurrence or disease progression.

It is in the “discovery” stage so it could be years but I am glad to help out however I can.

Awesome, ain't it good to be told that you are NED for another 6 months as a stage IV patient? I was told I was boring by my oncologist which made me extremely happy. and I am waiting for you to get to the "see you in a year stage" mate

Lee, I certainly did sign the consent forms. All it is is an extra blood draw every time I am back for scans so very easy. Anything I can do to help people that get this in the future!

AWESOME news, Dave! Congratulations!!! :D :D :D

I'm on 6-month CT scans and 3-month bloodwork, but I was a Stage IVB, which is probably why I have the extra labs. It never ceases to put a smile on my face thinking how far I've/we've come!
