Does “no evidence of cancer ” mean no cancer ?
No. Anyone can have undetected cancer, and many people do. A cancer may take, say, 15 years from onset to death, and it will only be detected in years 12 to 15. No evidence of cancer after treatment means that cancer has not been detected. This is the best that can be said. The terms “cured” ,”all clear” and “in remission” mean that there is currently no evidence that cancer is present. They certainly do not mean that there is no cancer, or that the patient will be free from cancer for a long time. The conservative approach is to assume that ( undetected) cancer remains and take action to slow down growth and/or kill remaining cancer. We strongly recommend that you follow an anti-cancer lifestyle, and consider getting “preventive” SPDT/SDT from time to time.
