As Colleen's caregiver, I feel that as long as treatments are ongoing, then we are fighting cancer. For better or worse we are at least doing something. Cancer is a sneaky bastard. So all of a sudden are we supposed to declare victory and hope that cancer is truly and finally dead and not just playing possum? Frankly, I don't trust cancer. The tumor grew because it tricked the immune system in the first place.

So Savta, I know exactly what you are feeling. But your well trained doctors are still going to be looking diligently for the cancer's return. You will be having regular doctor visits for years to come and that is the first thing your doctor will be looking for. Cancer is sneaky but your doctors are on to its tricks.

You should continue to be vigilant but take comfort that your medical team used everything in their toolbox to get rid of it.

I don't know if this is any comfort to you, but I think it is much better to have a healthy suspicion of a life threatening enemy.
