StephN,

We'll never know for sure about anything in life, much less cancer causes and outcomes. You are in an elite club (the 1 to 2% who don't die from the diagnosis you had), but there are a few other members. It's possible that with some of the newer treatments the membership roster will grow. A friend from my in-person group knows of a woman in her town with HER2 Stage IV who recently went off treatment after being NED for a long time. It's new territory.

I'm only 4 years into this, and not NED, but nevertheless I'm doing well in terms of quality of life and ability to function, and I'm grateful.

I appreciate you Steph!

Amy
