My Mom has been getting 'maintenance' treatments to keep her cancer from coming back. Last January she was considered cancer free, but they told her it would probably take less than 6 months to come back. Just a few days ago she had another cat scan done to check her lymph nodes for more cancer, and they found absolutely NOTHING!!
Her doctors are optimistic that although it's not a curable disease, it probably won't come back for at least 10+ years, and that they will be checking her semi-annually so that they can keep up with it, and catch it early again when it comes back.
I couldn't be happier... Mom has been getting chemo treatments for 2.5 years now, and I am so glad she is done!
Re: Just got some amazing news
That's awesome!
I lost my mom to cancer 5 1/2 years ago so it's really great to hear success stories!
