Elisa, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and was considered incurable, happily reported that after a grueling summer of chemotherapy and treatment she's now N.E.D.: no evidence of disease. "It's the best news I could get," said Elisa, who also posted the update on the family's blog Family "Bond"ing Time. Husband Nathan is scheduled for surgery for his Stage 3 colorectal cancer, but the couple said the outlook is much less bleak than it was this March.
