I Am 1st Stage DLBNH. I Was Told By Oncologist After Last Scan I’m Cured. I Said Doc You Mean In Remission Right.

So my question is, has anyone been cured, made it past 5 years or more without cancer showing up any where in their body.

I’m not sure if we ever are cured from cancer, remission yes but not cured. I’ve heard of people no cancer for years, 20 years at least and it came back and killed them. I’ve got metastatic breast cancer and I’m not even sure I’ll ever be in remission. It’s in God’s hands and I’m ok with that. God bless you, be safe and Merry Christmas

I'm 13 yrs out from trans flap for br cancer and now 7 yrs out from CLL. Had chemo 3 yrs ago and that's when the lovely side effects started. I was told I was cured in my breast cancer but cll will come back and possibly worse. I see my onc in Jan and will request a new bmb.
I think it's always lurking somewhere and it's very confusing to hear cured then remission ...
