Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. Don't know why it took me a year to join but here I am. Recently passed the 1-year anniversary of the beginning of the journey, and my how my perspective has changed. Finished treatment in mid-July. Battled fatigue for quite some time. Feeling more energized now. First scans in Oct '14 came back "NED". Next set of scans in two weeks. I've learned to roll with the punches! Happy to be here.
