Hi Pat,

I was at the same decision point in May when all the ASCO data was released. I was 10 months out from the finish of my chemo. My onc said the same thing, no science, yadayada... I had clear CAT/MRI in April. Then in September I found two small lumps on my strenum and now I have two small liver mets. So wish I had pursued it. Having said that, no one has a crystal ball and you may never recur again. I don't know where your onc practices, but how about trying to consult an onc in one of the big major medical centers in the country - Sloan, Komen, Johns Hopkins, etc and see if they concur. I know it's a hard decision so I think you need as much info as possible.

Good luck and good health.
Donna
