Remission question - When do you start counting the days? After surgery? Or After you're done taking Xeloda?

The timing for counting remission days can vary depending on your specific treatment plan and what your oncology team considers the completion of active treatment. This is definitely a question worth discussing with your medical team, as they'll have the best insight into your particular situation and can clarify when they would officially consider your remission period to begin. Other community members may have helpful perspectives to share about their own experiences with this milestone too.

Was wondering the same thing. In my mind, when I finish Keytruda, ( everything else is done), l will be in remission. I will see if they agree with me in March!
