thought it befitting to share on World Cancer Day. the latest (yearly) PET/CT scan was 29 January. thankFULL it was another NEAD result; the initial dx was Oct 2011, and the mBC dx was July 2015. the aforementioned scan is eight years of mBC NEAD scans. and, after the scan we discussed stopping Ibrance and the Zoladex injection. this was welcomed, as the mind-body accepts the outcomes. beyond grateFULL for the results and conversation on 29 January. though, 'healthy' with the initial and mBC dx, there was still transformation that needed to occur. it was worth it! serendipity = the re-read i brought with me: Radical Remission, Surviving Cancer Against All Odds, by Kelly A Turner, PhD. may you find ease, joy, and compassion through uncertainty with mBC.

That is such awesome news! Congratulations. I have heard many things about the mind-body connection and believe that positive thoughts can influence our health. Also, that is great that your doctor is suggesting stopping the Ibrance and Zoladex. I know you do many other healthy protocols that have helped you along the way and I'm sure you will continue to do those. Hoping you continue to stay NEAD. Sending hugs and prayers.
