                        dcalandrelli excellent news. Congrats, My son got the all clear last Thursday March 15th, on to surveillance. Is March 15th the day he would use to say he is cancer free ?

                          That’s what I’ve been going off of the day I could officially say I’m cancer free. I had a good scan post chemo but AFP rose during chemo, it was tested a month later and dropped in half so I assume I was cancer free upon the first scan, but I use my first all clear. I chalked up the rise due to the death of cancer cells since it’s been trending down ever since.
