5 Years NED
Five years and 2 days ago . . .
I had my final surgery to remove the axillary lymph nodes. Since then every scan and test has been NED.
Before the approval of Herceptin I had a 67% chance of recurrence. I have been taxaned, trastuzumabed and vaccinated. If I had had any idea that I would have been able to make 5 years without any more cancer I wouldn't have worried so much.
Whippee!
