Over 4 years and still NED
Just wanted to share some good news as I feel we need some every now and then, especially us stage IV'ers. My recent scans came out clean again as did my brain MRI. It's been over 4 years now that I was diagnosed stage IV, and I feel so blessed that I have continued to remain healthy after the initial bout. So, I'm off to live my life again and try not to worry too much until I have to do my scans again in 6 months..right around my birthday. I continue to say prayers for everyone on this board that we all will find a cure soon...sherryg
