Recently I have spoken to or read stories from Cancer survivors. They each have become Cancer free with No Evidence of Disease or NED. Some are early after treatment and some long term after treatment.
I personally have been on both sides of the proclamation of NED! Remember hearing “you have Cancer” is a traumatic thing. We all loose track of that is said after that. So having another person is very important. However do not let the doctor talk for a minute or so after the word Cancer. Stop them tell them to wait! You might consider asking for a nurse to sit in with you and watch you and your reactions. Some insurance might offer a Patient Advocate. Just don’t go it alone.
