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
