Once again - news is NED
 

Dear HER2 sisters and friends:

"Nothing new, stable, NED" were the words of both my oncologists this week. My ears still seem to never quite believe what they heard! I have to stop and once again thank the Good Lord for this ongoing blessing.

NED in my head and everywhere else.

It is well past 10 years since diagnosis. However, my team of oncologists still keeps a close watch on my blood stats and organs. I still go along with the close surveillance.

At this point it has been just 2 and a half years since my last Herceptin infusion. We use the HER2 serum test, but this last time the woman who took my blood used the wrong tube, so it had to be redrawn and don't have that result yet. But I don't expect any change since all my other blood work was normal.

Cheers to all!

Hi Steph

Thats great news. Did you change anything in your life style over the years? Like the foods you now eat.

I'd be interested to know. Since my brain mets I've really looked at what i eat. Not sure if it helps or not. I have a MRI in 4 weeks to see how my treatment went its a very nervous time.

Congratulations on your success.

Regards
Jacqui

You are such an inspiration! Yes, I'm also interested in your eating habits. I've heard vegan is the way to avoid cancer. I did it for 2 months & got a great response on my PET scan but then got the stomach flu & since then have found it so hard to not eat ANY meat or dairy!
