Hey @katethegreat,
I thought I'd check in and see how you're doing. You asked what is NED? NED is short for "no evidence of disease". Have you heard of Dr. Rob Rutledge in Halifax? He is a radiation oncologist who started a Healing and Cancer program. You can read more about it here: http://healingandcancer.org/the-healing-program/ and watch videos. Another great resource for mindfulness work is Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sood. He also has a guided program online here: http://stressfree.org/happiness/ Several other members of Connect have recommended these types of programs to help living better with cancer.
Talk to you later.

I had the ovarian scare at age 42. The surgery pain was as if a Mack truck hit me and rolled over me. Not to mention the hormonal changes that follow.I only wish I would have had the mind & body training I had with the many surgeries in my 20's-30'sIn 2008 after I had lung cancer surgery (I am a never smoker) I was ...the Healing Cancer physicians are earth angels. The mind body soul connection is a blessing in more ways than I could have ever imagined. The practice had given me great strength, compassion, resilience traduced to The PacedBreathing Research Study at Mayo that put me on a great track for living!Having lung cancer was shocking!But the Stigma, shame and blame was unfair and horrible. It can bring you down! Integrative medicine works for me!Most importantly, I can accept living like never before! It's a wonderful life.I am grateful "Stress Free Living" teachings by Dr Amit Sood and the amazing care at Mayo Clinic with the "healing support" they make available...it should be an insurance requirement ! Because I now say Lung Cancer became my blessing.Mayo teams respectfully keep an eye on us and lookAt the great sharing opportunity we have with Mayo connect. Truly amazing! Thank you Colleen ❤I am so grateful, Linda Wortman
