Remission is an interesting verbiage. I am considered to be in remission after a year of immunotherapy and chemotherapy, which was only approved by the FDA in 2023. I am considered to be in the 27% that is in remission however I do not dwell on remission, but dwell in the future. I know my friends and family ask am I cancer free? I always respond. We never know and we live from one scheduled surveillance to the next.

@sperio
I do like your response that you dwell on the future and we all must live with hope.

Perhaps I have permitted my diagnosis to overshadow my life with concern and worry and subsequently am experiencing a degree of depression.

Renewal of hope and a return to the hobbies which I had previously enjoyed is needed.

Best wishes.
