Why did my husband's lymphoma come back after perfect scans?

Cancer can unfortunately return even after clear scans, which happens because imaging tests can't always detect very small amounts of cancer cells that may still be present in the body. This situation, while deeply concerning and overwhelming, is something that oncology teams are experienced in managing, and having a specialist team involved shows the medical care is moving in the right direction. Many community members here understand the emotional weight of being the primary caregiver when a partner withdraws, and this community offers a space to share experiences and find support during these challenging times.

Laura, I've been wondering the exact same thing about how cancer can come back after clear scans - it's so confusing and scary when you think everything is going well. You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed, especially when you're carrying all the caregiving responsibilities while your husband is shutting down.

Thank you for your support
