    Remission is kind of a misunderstood term, people think they means it’s cured or whatever, but you can ever be cured from cancer. It just means it’s not actively killing you right now and tumors are shrinking. Tumors could even go away, but you’re not cured and the cancer can always come back, it can also come back in other places. But don’t get me wrong here, remission is definitely a good thing and it’s worth celebrating 100%

      Somehow my brain turned remission into “The cancer was gone but it’s back now”. This is great then!
