There is hope!! I'm still NED!!!
OVer 5 years ago I was given the diagnosis of Stage IV bc and told that there really wasn't anything that could be done for me....maintenance was all I could hope for. "so sorry" I was told. NO!!! Not acceptable, I said and went in search for another opinion. Thank heavens I found CTCA. I truely believe they saved my life. I had 6 rounds of chemo, no rads, no mastectomy....and I am NED today. I have had the privilege of seeing my kids become teenagers, made a million spectacular memories and have LIVED! Hang in there, ladies! Good things are happening!

Wonderful news and post! Coincidentally, someone in another forum I'm on -- a FB page for 45+ metsters -- was asking just a few days ago about CTCA. May I share your post, either in that small, closed group or in a private message to her? I'm sure she'd be thrilled to know your story. I'm also curious to know what, if any, complimentary regimens have been an important part of your tx @ CTCA. Hope you'll possibly share a bit more! Deanna
