Wanted to pull this up because I think this is an important thread. Although Ed is stable I have not heard the word "NED" yet. Personally, I cannot even say the word yet until our doctor mentions it. Not a superstitious person but do not want to jinx anything yet. Until then we are happy to be stable and off of treatment and will certainly revel in the freedom. If we never reach the point of 'dancing with NED' we will be able to say that our life could have not been lived any more happier and that we would have not do one thing different.

I am just happy that my husband is still here beating all the odds. Besides remission, what is better than that??>>Believe51
