A member asked:
When are you officially a survivor of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perspective: "Surviving" cancer is a day to day process depending on how active or aggressive one's cancer tends to be. Typically, studies look at 5 year and 10 year rates of death, but depending on the cancer, this can also be a "cancer-free" statistic.
