[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1733014, member: 222691"] I'm so sorry for your loss, but the word remission is simply a term to say that a condition is 'on hold' and is used in many other conditions, not just cancer, I'm afraid. I understand how you must feel after a similar thing happening to my own mother(she had lung cancer, was told she was in remission, and was dead a couple of weeks later). It is a genuine medical term, however and is a more accurate description of what some diabetics are managing to do for themselves. Their condition isn't cured, and it's not reversed, so the word is indeed accurate in describing what happens. Again, not meaning to antagonise or cause any hurt, Rosie 1988, it must be terribly raw for you. [/QUOTE]
