It is possible. In a small number of cases, terminal cancer has been known to go into remission. I have met one such Survivor of Breast cancer who was told she had only months to live. She began doing every thing she could possibly find to fight the cancer, including but not limited to medical experimental drugs and treatments, and also some unorthodox eastern medicine treatments such as acupuncture. She also began to alkaline (make acidic) her body, using citric acid from lemons and other fruits. She had a positive outlook and believed she could defeat it, and did. This was ten years ago, and to date there is no trace of cancer left in her body.
Remission is when cancer signs disappear, Recurrence is the return of cancer after a remission.
Cancer remission is often thought to mean that the cancer has been cured. However, this is not always true. There are different classifications of remission - complete and partial remission. Complete remission means that there are no signs or symptoms of cancer. This can mean the cancer has been cured, or cancer may still be present in the body. Partial remission refers to the point when few signs and symptoms of cancer remain, however there is a noticeable decrease of cancer cells.
Complete remission or response. The cancer completely disappears. The course of chemotherapy is completed and the patient is tested regularly for a recurrence.
