Re: 8 YEARS NED!
I still read, but havent posted in so long. Just wanted to say congrats!!! Yay!!! It is posts like yours that gave my family hope when we thought a stage4 diagnosis was a death sentance. I see you were stage 3 at diagnosis...still sounds horrible.
That said, my lil sis remains NED after all these years. Onc says she is cured! So hopeful that experiences like ours bring hope to others who are blindsided by this crap, as we were.
