Hi Ladies,

Yes, there is hope for us all. After 10 weeks of Taxol/Herceptin I was dx NED. The doc decided to keep me on chemo till the end of June. I had another CT scan Weds, and today my Onc pronounced me NED, Total Response, and I was taken off chemo
and only had the Herceptin. I have moved on to maintenance Herceptin. Praise the Lord. Perhaps I will grow hair fast! Original dx 12/03
Stage IV with mets to the liver and lymph node swollen. No breast surgery. The tumor is gone
there also.

Love & Hugs to all,

Beth

Since I am new to all of this, I do not know all of the terminology. What does NED stand for?
thanks, bev
