Since we are ALL on 'borrowed time' with the axe poised, it makes sense to celebrate fully, rather than with the tepid phrase, 'remission.' <BR/><BR/>I LIKE this approach!Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758977872663382006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-24123034466120928392007-10-26T07:52:00.000+10:002007-10-26T07:52:00.000+10:00Wonderful news!!Wonderful news!!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-87963863772277088112007-10-26T07:33:00.000+10:002007-10-26T07:33:00.000+10:00What a good post.

Of course the lawyers don't want that because the cancer might not be gone and it would be their 'fault' if it came back. What a world!<BR/><BR/>Let's celebrate life!

Lately a friend asked after my sister-in-law, I said she was clear, and the friend said 'oh, she's in remission.' I said no, I understood she was clear, and friend said, well you never know with cancer... etc which seemed lugubrious and negative to me, but I was a bit confused about the difference. I think you're completely right, if for no other reason than the clear time must be qualitatively different with the different outlook.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330775846201490413.post-13071043923849807402007-10-25T14:15:00.000+10:002007-10-25T14:15:00.000+10:00the psychology of wellness seems to evade the "hea...the psychology of wellness seems to evade the "health care" industry. i agree with your views on the terminology. my mom in her 80's has been cancer-free for 2 years now after radical surgery and chemotherapy.
