Complete Response vs Partial Response

[julierene]

I got my report after 3 months, that my PET is clear! (Thank God!) I didn't think that would happen actually, because my back still hurts. But he explained that it probably would, while things were healing. Anyway, I kinda had a light go off, and I asked him "Does being in the category of 'complete reponse' make it possible that I might last longer?" He smiled and said something along the lines of, "I would say that's probably a fair assumption." He's never been one to sugar coat anything...

You gals think he's giving me reasonable hope? Thanks in advance!!! HUGS!
