- NED is my choice like others above it is gone not welcome to return
- Yeah I'm the same, call me funny but I NEVER use the word 'Remission as it gives it permission" so I have always said it's gone...finito :) eventhough I had Tamoxifen for 4yrs and rads and still a recurrence, I am now 3yrs NED from my last diagnosis. :) x
- Good article, thanks @Sister.
As with @kmakm, I like the term NED. I had neoadjuvant chemo , and didn't have a complete response, so NED works for me. I'm trusting my AI to keep it that way - I like NED. That's what I'm going to use.
- Interesring...but for my head I am going to consider myself CURED rather than thinking cancer cells are lurking and waiting as that is better for my mental health.
- That was interesting, thanks for sharing :smile:
- Good clear article. Thank you for posting the link.
