I had another one of my three-monthly CT scans last week, 12 months after stopping the immunotherapy I had been receiving for three years.

Still no signs of anything, and my bloods are all good, as is my life in general.

Going on to six-monthly scans now.

Regards, Fred

Are your doctors using this term, Fred?  Or, is it too early to tell.  In any event, this is super good news.

Stub,

Yes they are saying complete responder.  I personally don't use that term or the magic word "cured" becasue 1) I don't want to push my luck and 2) I know this is based only on radiology.  I am still waiting for a definitive blood test.

But I will take what it is for the present and be grateful for the outcome I have been given.

Regards,

Fred
