Petra B – Still NED And Loving It
Yesterday was the semi-annual visit to the oncologist for Petra. She is finally finished with the orginal surgeon, the chemo, the radiation oncologist (after five years), and the reconstructive surgeon (after five years), but still sees this one every six months. And no, that is NOT him in the picture.
After a discussion of her recent blood work and (of course) an exam, her doctor pronounced her to be “NED”. That’s cancer-speak for No Evidence of Disease. Yahoo! That’s the best you can hope for once you have ever had cancer. And it only holds until the next round of appointments. But still, yahoo again! High fives for everyone!
Leave me a comment below or else the doctor in this picture will give you an exam!
No, No, thousand times No….don’t want an exam from this Dr!! Now if he was tall, dark and reasonably handsome….that’s another story. ha ha….NED!! Love that term! woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo!! I’m doing the woo hoo dance!
