Re: 15 years stage IV - no drugs in 8yrs - still NED

Wow- StephN - I peek in on the boards today and your joyful update is the first post I see - so providential and such wonderful holiday news! Not only are you doing well but you continue to shower the rest of us with encouragement. How fortunate we all are to have you here. When you start your travels consider a stop in New England- I am in Madison CT, and would love to see you.
Stay well old friend!

Re: 15 years stage IV - no drugs in 8yrs - still NED

Congratulations Steph!
When I was diagnosed with liver mets in 2010, you were one of the people who gave me hope that I could survive to see my kids grow up. That was 2010. I have now been Ned for almost 6 years and off meds for 2. I hope to follow in your footsteps.
My youngest is now 14 and I have every intention of being here to see her graduate high school and hopefully college.

Happy holidays

Laurie
