I think Alaska Angel said it best. I have wondered many times what each of the terms meant and have been given a variety of answers and that also goes for stage, grade and chance of recurrance also. Also most of the people I encounter that ask are clueless as to the fact that they just don't know if it is all gone or not. They make their best guess. I consider myself in remission for 5 years after the end of treatment and after that I would be considered cured. Although that is what my onc said I think I will always be in fear of recurrance. I think they just don't know.
