Those that remember me, will know that I was diagnosed jan 2022 as stage 4. I had a tumor that had broken through the vaginal wall and the bowel wall within the Anal margin. i was also told I had spread to the peritoneum with distant lymph node involvement.

I completed chemotherapy in august 2022, had a stoma formation in sept 2022, the  chemo radiation 5.5 weeks which finished November 2022. 

I had my 3 month scan results this week, slightly delayed as they wanted to do a pet scan after the mri/ct. 

and guess what - I’m officially NED! 

I don’t know how, but what I do know - is that I am! My scans are clear!  

please please, keep positive, question everything, get 2nd opinions, believe in yourself. I was given 12 months and now I’m NED. 
I will now have scans every 3 months, there’s a chance it will come back, but for now, I’m just embracing being NED Smile
