Congratulations on the milestone, Paige. I second Beach: it is a win against cancer and a beacon of hope for all stage 4's around here (my family member included). We have learned a lot from both of your posts, Paige and Beach, and your resilience is greatly admired.

Hi,

My most recent scans of brain, lung, abdomen and pelvis showed No Evidence of Disease, which makes me very happy. Signatera was negative as well.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Best wishes,

Paige
