Alisa Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Hey all. I just wanted to share my good news – I just had a combination PET/CT and the results are in and I’m still considered NED (no evidence of disease). Yeah!!!! I was really nervous because it’s the first time I waited 10 months for a test. I’ve been on a 6 month schedule for the last 5 years (I was on a 3 months schedule the first 2 years) and for the past few years my onc was trying to get me on a 1-year schedule and I finally agreed to wait 10 months. I was so stressed out waiting 10 months that I asked the doctor to put me back on a 6-month schedule next time and he said ok. So I will be getting a CT without contrast every 6 months as they are watching me for a new primary and not a recurrence at this point. I am so relieved and I can breathe for another 6 months now. I hope this gives others hope. I was Stage 3a and have been NED for 7 years since surgery and chemo. Blessings, Alisa Quote
