What a wild month it has been!

I set out for a Dirty Girl Mud Run, spent some time in Stage 4 land, and ended up NED, all within the space of 5 weeks. Wow! Welcome to the roller coaster of HER2+ !

Here's a quick rundown: Seizure Friday June 13.....CAT scan and MRI revealed solitary 2 cm brain met. Gamma Knife June 24. Zapped it!

Subsequent bone scan....all clear.
Body scan showed 5 mm spot on liver....subsequent MRI showed nothing!

July 17 declared NED. :) I will take it!

Follow up brain MRI Aug 19. If nothing new, will do MRIs every 2 months. If/when something shows, we'll deal with it then.
Full body/bone scans every 3 months. Again, if something shows up, then we deal with it.

Until then, I am embracing NED, and getting back to the business of Living!

Though I have only met a couple of you in person, I feel like I know each and every one of you on this board. The love and support here is amazing....whether it's a "good" day or a "bad" day, I know that I can always find strength, wisdom, and inspiration on the HER2 board.

You ALL are Brave and Courageous Women! I am grateful to have each of you in my life!

Many blessings to you all

Wow. That is a Her2 roller coaster ride. I am so happy to hear that it was only 1 met, and that you were able to zap it with Gamma knife.

So pleased of your NED news. Wishes for NED to continue.

Embur 102,

Wonderful news, you made my day!

And I feel the same way you do, that I know everyone here, and so grateful you're all in my life. I was reading the posts last night about the Amazing Christine, who started this forum, and just feeling so thankful for her, too.

Have a beautiful NED Sunday!

Thanks for sharing the good news.

Yip, that GKRS is a God-send.

You might feel some fatigue the next couple of weeks from the radiosurgery treatment. Get plenty of rest and eat a lot of nuts, fruit/vegies and good protein to help the brain heal.

Sending you good vibes.
