HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Help -- I am confused

Clarification and further questions: My oncologist told me "there has been no change" since the last scan. In others words, it hasn't grown, but it hasn't shrunk either. Does that mean that I am in remission, and is that the same as being NED?

Also, should I consider having the lymph nodes in my neck removed? If so, will it increase my chances of having it spread to other areas?

I was already concerned about being taken off Herceptin after a year. I will definitely discuss this with him.
