      I am III-b. My surgery and INF treatment were in early 2009; after my last checkup I am still NED with great numbers. I'm down to a checkup once per-year, and I think that subsequent appointments will not have as many scans as previously.

      I seldom check in, but I know how important good news can be. I'm don't consider myself cured. I am just staying NED while better treatments are found. Hopefully I'll still be NED when something else kills me a long time from now.

      Love to y'all.

          Drew, you're a true optimist 🙂

          Congrats on the continued NED.
