How do I describe myself now?

Well all, I've had my op, all went well at end of Oct. I've had, my post op check up.dr said cancer gone, I'm now on hormone treatment, awaiting my radiotherapy. I have to go back to work ( don't want to) what do I say to people, I don't have breast cancer anymore, I'm all good again?

  • Great news!

    Tell them “so far, so good but I’m not quite out of the wiods yet!” that’s what I did. 

    “No visible sign of disease” is not quite the same as “cancer free”. There’s still a low risk of recurrence. The hormone therapy is there to reduce the risk of that recurrence.
