Prostate cancer goes dormant, What really happens?
Here is an article I just received today that discusses the issue of prostate cancer going dormant, with quite a good amount of detail.
It also discusses some scary things that can bring it back.

I'm glad that the researchers are figuring this stuff out. I'll take a pause on celebrating with I'm cured.

@jeffmarc Thanks for the article. It would be helpful to know some % of dormant cells that become active as a general guideline but on the positive side, at least most of us are testing regularly to catch something that may re-occur early.
@bens1
That article is as close as we can get to information about dormant cells, for a long time. They will have to come up with some tests that can tell us the information you’re asking about.
