DH is unofficially in remission for prostate cancer. He had surgery in 2002and then six months later, a round of radiation therapy. he was testing undetectable PSA until two tests ago when it started rising, slowly so they did a new series of tests (MRI, etc.) and found nothing so they thin=k it's an anomaly. But he's back on the watch list --- every six months testing...
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. She had a lumpectomy followed by radiation a couple of months later. She goes to her oncologist every month, and he is happy with the blood work results.
