Colleen20 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Hi All - Just wanted to share the fact that I have had another NED scan, this puts me at the two year mile marker! The first time I went to my oncologist he said to me "You're not going to survive this". I became determined to prove that man wrong! Don't give up doctors do not know everything. Quote
carolhg Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 That is WONDERFUL !!! I am curious, did you have adjuvant chemo after your surgery? Carol Quote
Colleen20 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 Yes, I had 4 cycles of Carboplatin and Taxotere Quote
jaminkw Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Colleen, congratulations. I couldn't be happier for you. Want to be my new hero? I'm IIIB NED 19 months from dx but with the warning "the expectations are it will come back." Thanks for the reminder, they're not always right. I knew that! Judy in Key West Quote
recce101 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 That's great, Colleen — let's keep those good scans a-comin! Aloha, Ned Quote

Kasey Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Gosh, I'm just thrilled for you, Colleen. I'm wishing you so many years of NED that you just can't count that high. Now as to that $%# oncologist................hope he EATS those words he said and chokes on them. He's an idiot! Glad you proved him wrong. Kasey Quote

LovesLife Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Colleen - what wonderful news ... CONGRATULATIONS!!! Linda Quote
Barb73 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Colleen, Whaoooo, and sending you CONGRATULATIONS. One doctor, when I told him Bill's oncologist was going to treat Bill's disease as a chronic, said to me in a sarcastic tone, "Yeah, don't we wish." That was four years ago. Keep those NED scans coming, Colleen. Proving that doctor wrong should be an incentive. Barbara Quote
dihen Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Congratulatons Colleen!!! Keep that fighting spirit always! Quote
jstdzy Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Congratulations! Way to go! When I got dx I thought it was a death sentence, thank heavens all my doc's were so encouraging! I think every single one of them told me I was going to be cured! But it's people posting here that really make me believe! Thanks for sharing! Quote
ts Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I share the congrats and hope that I will post the same in a few years! Quote
CaroleHammett Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Congratulations, Colleen!! I'm doing the Happy Dance here in Boulder (me, Mick and David Bowie are dancing in the street)! While I believe my various remedies (especially more recent Vitamin C infusions and Vitamin D oral supplements) have greatly succeeded in my continued pain-free survival I(i.e., slowed progression to a crawl), I am also convinced that "tude can't be ignored, and you definitely have 'tude! With love and affection, Carole (another "bounce back kid") Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.--George Carlin Quote
