When I saw my medical oncologist for my last routine visit, I asked what my status is considered now. He said the best way to say it is that I HAD breast cancer. He didn't want to use the word remission but now I'm not exactly sure why. I looked up the definition and remission refers to periods of time when a person with a long-lasting illness does not have symptoms. During a remission, a person returns to his or her usual state of health. I guess I would say that I am in remission.
