Do you start counting from the day you were diagnosed or when you're done with all your treatments?

Well, if you want to define NED as No Evidence of Disease, then I would say the first day that there is no evidence of the cancer. For me, it was the day I had my lumpectomy and I had 4 years of it til my recurrence.
Cheers,
Caryn

I started the day after my radiation finished. I also am making that my new birthday, August 27, 2008. Gosh, I'm a young chick!
