I'm not a medic, but your Mum's medical team has told you what will happen. If it is expected to come back, it is because the medical team believe there are still cancer cells present. These cells are undetectable, but the medical team are certain they are there, and that they will spread.

Medics usually prefer terms such as NED (no evidence of disease) rather than cancer-free or cured. It is usually impossible to be absolutely certain that all cells have been eradicated. I am in this situation myself. It is unlikely that my cancer will recur. But there are no guarantees, which is why I, and other cancer patients, have regular checkups after treatment has finished.

I wish you and your Mum the very best, Claire Louise. xx Harry
