My doctors do
Hi Denise,
My doctors do just what yours do. All the tests came back fine.
They have never used the words that you mentioned.
Not sure why, maybe just different doctors have different ways of doing things.

Mine did not say
Mine did not say cancer free or cured either, but I told him I wanted a puppy who's breed had an average life expectancy of 10 years and would this be a good idea. He said yes, go ahead and get the puppy. I cried as I explained my question. He didn't take it back jsut laughed, so I'm takin that as a really good sign.

No Ned for meladybug22 said:My onc told me he would
My onc told me he would never tell me i was cured. He told me ned.
My onc also told me that he would never tell me i was cured as there is no cure for cancer he sees it as a bear that we push into a cave and then keep him there. also no Ned or remission. we have my tumor markers pretty low and that is the best we can hope for, it is so depressing i want remission or ned but it is not going to be.0
