  One other question I had was, if it’s in the blood stream, which our doctor suspected was the case after the surgery are there any tests that can be done to test that?
  Thank you.

  HI Julie,
  
  Ah thank you! I’ve been looking and researching everywhere to get some clue and have not come across anything. Now having read Bubbles post and watching Dr. Weber’s video, I realized I should I searched key words “discontinuing…” Thank you so much for the information!!!!!

  [I’m not an expert, but I’ve figure that once you can’t find any disease anymore (via scans or blood tests or markers or whatever) you’re NED. I don’t think it takes multiple clear scans.] In response to this, my mom has only done 3 months of treatment so far and the scans are “clear” with tumor pronunced dead. Because everything is in mandarin, I am not sure if that is the same as no evidence of disease? Is there blood work that can be done in addition to PET/CT to further confirm no evidence of disease?
