Well, my husband got his treatment response Pet scan result...no cancer activity found!!.... we were so shocked none of us ( me, hubby and son) expected that, we were hopeful, but, because of the stage and grade, we were worried ( stage 3 T4 N2..... after a minute or two, I just said " so, can we use the word " cured"?.. doctors response was " cured, well yes, for now... Later after we had got home, I was sat thinking, is he cured or is it remission?.... thing is unfortunately, we didn't see the usual consultant or Professor, we saw a registrar...so, didn't asked anything else, didn't feel as comfortable with him...anyway, can anyone shed any light?
Thank you
Xx
Oh well done. So happy for you.
The scan results show complete metabolic response or no evidence of disease. He is in remission. We are never cured but the longer we stay in remission the better the chances of remaining so
We appear in NHS stats as five year survivors if all goes well, which is as good as cured as we will ever be.

Thank you Brian
... Did you have the same stage and grade as my hubby?
It's still seems unreal, after the nightmare of the past 6 months.
Wishing you continued good health Brian
