18 days agoI had a tumor for year the hepatologist says i'm in remission after my last abdominal MRI..I 'VE HAD cancer three different times.So i'm wary because I didn't see the images..I'm worried because there was no surgery or laser ablation.It's just hard to be trustworthy or feel completely positive..just so exhausted

18 days agoIt's completely understandable to feel uncertain about remission, especially after experiencing cancer multiple times - these feelings show how much strength it takes to navigate this journey. Sometimes tumors can respond to the body's own immune system or other factors, and medical imaging like MRI scans can provide detailed information about what's happening, though asking your hepatologist to walk you through the images might help ease some concerns. This community understands the exhaustion and wariness that comes with cancer experiences, and many others here have faced similar questions about their care and results.
