Checking in, recent scans
I haven't been posting as much as I use to do but I still check in regularly. I just had my PET/CT scans and I am glad to stay that I am still NED. I have been in remission almost 3-1/2 years from my initial stage IV diagnosis. I still seem to live 6 month by 6 month but I am blessed to be healthy. My tennis team just recently won the state championship and I am going to Alabama to play sectionals. So my life is finally getting back to some sort of normalcy if that is possible. So for all you newly diagnosed stage IV girls, it is not an immediate death sentence..there's still a lot of living left to do. .sherryg683
