      All,

      I read posts but don't post that much here. Everyone has a story to tell and I'm thankful we have this forum to share because it helps me cope knowing you are out there and can relate to what is going on within all of us. On to my great news…..scans on July 25th (neck to pelvic CT and brain MRI) – "no evidence of metastatic disease present." Also, lab work continues to be very well. The doc put it like this, "18 months on treatment, scans are consistently great (NED) for the past year, much like remission".

      All,

      I read posts but don't post that much here. Everyone has a story to tell and I'm thankful we have this forum to share because it helps me cope knowing you are out there and can relate to what is going on within all of us. On to my great news…..scans on July 25th (neck to pelvic CT and brain MRI) – "no evidence of metastatic disease present." Also, lab work continues to be very well. The doc put it like this, "18 months on treatment, scans are consistently great (NED) for the past year, much like remission".

      I'm always cautious because this disease comes and goes as it pleases. I'm doing my part to stay healthy and enjoy life. I'm thankful for each and every day. The side effects are very tolerable (take six pills per day). My onc says that since I'm tolerating so well and my labs look great she sees no need in taking a break from treatment. Why mess with it when it is working so well?

      Just wanted to share my little Z story.

       

      Thanks,

      Kellie
