Hi Alyce,
I guess the worst part of a cancer diagnosis are the points you bring up. The uncertainty of it all. The never really knowing what is going on inside our bodies. Of course there are always tests like CT's, PETS, MRI's, blood work etc. but these are not always accurate either.
So, yes, you are right.........it would be nice if there "was a test to tell us if we are cancer free" but that isn't anything we have. So, all we can do is follow up with our oncs., stay on top of symptoms that don't go away and live our lives to the fullest each day AND to always remember that to be a survivor we need to live with confidence and the assurance that none of us know what tomorrow will bring. None of us. Whether having had cancer or not.
Thank God for this day called "today."
Hugs to you...
Mary Jo
