Update- Imogen is currently in remission!

[@philippakeogh-mcleod2069]

@Cayden I searched it up! There are a couple of news stories

[@triplex6915]

what is remission?

[@lightblue8818]

​@@triplex6915 Remission means they cant find any cancer cells in the tests they do. So when the doctors say "someone has been in remission for 5 years" that means they have not found any cancer cells during those 5 years. The problem with cancer in general but specially for leukemia and the likes (cancers that are spread out over different/large/multiple areas) are that if the chemo-therapy dont destroy all cancer cells - it will come back by slowly spreading from the few cancer cells that survived. The rule is 5 years of remission to be able to say "cured of cancer" because there is a chance that the cancer returns during those years after the treatments. You can never truly promise that someone is cured but they just say it because the chance of the cancer returning after 5 years of remission is so small.
