A member asked:
When after a chemo cycle until you find out if you are in remission?

Depends: This depends on the cancer and the type of chemotherapy. There are instances where cancer is already in remission before even starting chemotherapy. If cancer is active before chemotherapy, in general, it may take 2-4 cycles to determine if someone is in remission.
