1 year and NED

Yesterday marked one year of herceptin to the day. I started that treatment one year ago. And I can celebrate one year NED. Whose NED? NED is No Evidence of Disease. NED is the medical term for cancer free and quite frankly I like NED better than cancer free because no one knows for sure if they are cancer free or not. So NED is as good as it gets and it feels honest.

Happy one year NED!

    Ooh, I like NED. Happy 1 year NED! I wonder whether I'll be able to begin my own non-cancer-related NED marker by the end of next year. You know I gotta try to keep up! Hugs and celebrations!

    Sure if you are NED you are NED. It really applies to anyone. And it feels real.
