latest scan results..still NED
It's been 2 years since I started my chemo in January, with stage IV, 2 small mets to lungs. My scan results came back yesterday that all is still clear. I was really nervous about this one. I just felt the 2 year thing was a big leap to get over and never thought I would go this long NED. I will now have my scans every 6 months (if I can stand to go that long). My radiologist report did list this huge word that was followed by the words "lung disease". It really freaked me out. Upon "googling" all the words it meant that I had "bronchitis" showing up. I was sick when I did my scans. This was a new radiologist that read my scans and he was much more detailed than the usual guy. Why do they use such alarming terms..lol...sherryg
