Hi Lexi, BIG Congratulations on being 4 years out and NED.

Its great that you stick around to share your story so that the newly dx that come along see that there is hope. There are so many newly dx that have onc that are all doom and gloom...just like my onc was. But when I ran across this board and found posts like yours...I finally felt like I could breathe a little bit.

So again...thanks for sharing...and I truly hope you go out and celebrate...do something nice for yourself. Then look forward to endless yrs of NED.

Big Hug coming your way!
