Seems like so many people say i was stage 1 and it was all gone and now 1 yr later i an stage 4. There’s no point in celebrating when the dr say the cancers gone bc it seems like everyone just gets another round of it?

‘cancer free’ is not a literal term. Since cancer takes too many forms to get into, the broadest meaning to the term is that ‘we can no longer detect clumps of cancer cells’. Since it is basically impossible to scan every single cell in an organ or the human body, this is not a 100% guarantee.
With luck, the body handles any remaining cancer by itself.
But cancer is, unfortunately, something that recurs and folks who have had it are at high risk of it coming back.
