hi all

received letter ( patient copy) still in remission MRD - although, during our consultations, I have noticed phrases like “well hopefully this will last a couple years before we need some sort of treatment again”

Just got to enjoy the respite at present😊

hi, I’ve seen from your profile that you were treated at The Christie - me too! Also on The Flair trial but with FCR treatment. Like you, I am in remission, now 4 years on, but last time I went, Caz said that I don’t need treatment yet and I’m thinking - well why would I need treatment? I’m in remission. I wonder if the trial doctors look at things differently and they are thinking of the next stage. Hopefully that is quite a way off for us both.

Well done in all you have overcome and I wish you a lovely long remission.

Kaz is lovely.

I get confused by their mixed messages though!!

MRD or UMRD? That would be the difference when predicting further need being more imminent maybe that is what they meant?

yes although I don’t know that we are given the same definition in U.K. ( I might be wrong)
