Can cancer come back stronger after reaching NED?
Community Member
12 hours agoI’ve heard that each time cancer comes back it can be stronger and more resistant to treatment but has anyone in here ever made it to NED had it come back and made it to NED again? Was it harder than the first time?

7 hours agoWondering about cancer coming back after reaching NED is a very common concern in the metastatic breast cancer community, and the question makes sense. Every person's experience with recurrence and returning to NED is different, and a care team can best explain what may apply to an individual situation, so it may help to bring these questions to the next appointment. Others in this community who have reached NED more than once are welcome to share their stories, and this thread may offer hope and perspective to anyone facing similar worries.
