I'm NED
 

Five years with cancer, 3 years with mets, 7 different chemos, a liver resection, SBRT radiation, sepsis and cdiff, and Perjeta and Herceptin.....and Perjeta/Herceptin did it.

I had a PET last August that showed the cancer was stable, and I had a PET this month that shows no signs of disease. It is due to the miracle drug, perjeta.

If it can happen to me, it can happen to you!

I never thought it would, but here I am. NED.

In a year, if I'm still NED, he may even take me off the Herceptin/Perjeta. There is no evidence of what happens with long-term use - although it's an easy drug to take it does act on your cells and who knows? That makes me happy and nervous at the same time.

I'm very happy and I wish the same for you all.

I am left with some pain from all the surgeries and treatments I've had, but I can certainly live with that! I feel like a miracle happened.

*hugs* to all of you.

Amazing news Ann! I suspected you could be NED - if the correct treatment became available, and it did. I am beyond thrilled that Perjeta was your miracle.

I hope that many more ladies with advanced cancers will start enoying NED.

Maybe you've started a new trend!

Congratulations! I stopped over and read some of your blog, and look forward to reading more.

I'm new here and am using Perjeta as a first-line treatment. It has obliterated my tumor and also reduced my swollen nodes back to normal. I feel so lucky to have joined this "club" with Perjeta as an option.

Wonderful news!!
