Scan results!
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to post and let everyone know that my last PET scan on Mon. came back NED again!! I am so grateful for Herceptin, and everyone who has come before me and made my current NED state possible.
So, to those out there who wonder is it possible to get to NED being Stage IV, I say "Yes" it is.
The port area is not sore anymore, but I still have to say it sticks out a lot more than my old one.
Enjoy the rest of summer everyone,
Emelie
