Re: "In remission" but...
I know what you mean Hermiracles. It's hard to believe words like remission. My onc has been very hesitant to use it or even NED. I wish he would so I could have some official statement of victory or something, but really I think victory is a day by day thing for us. Today, you are victorious. I am confident you are on a path to getting healthier every day. The cancer is out of the way so your body can focus on repairing the damage from the battle. It will take time, but we'll keep moving forward, day by day. You are a walking miracle!
Congratulations, Celeste
