[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is 18 mths out from chemo. He won't even be considered in remission until 2 years from the end of chemo. He will be a survivor at 5 years from the end of treatment with no reoccurrence of disease. Right now he is just considered to not have active disease. [/quote] I suppose it depends on cancer and stage. My DH is a few years out from surgery, and a year less than that from treatment. We say survivor now but we do not say cure. We also use NED (no evidence of disease) dated from the surgery date (since it was adjuvent chemo); [/quote]
