Answers:
I haven't actually heard of her, but I'm glad she has no evidence of cancer!.

But NO doctor will have told her that she is '100% cancer-free' and no doctor will have told her that she is 'definitely not going to die from breast cancer'!. Sorry but she has misinterpreted what her doctors said, or (more likely) the media has misinterpreted what she said!.

There is no all-clear for breast cancer!. Statistically the chances of recurrence or metastasis are less after 5 years and are subsequently reduced as time passes!.

But breast cancer can return at any time, even many years after treatment!. The most that doctors will tell you is that there is currently 'no evidence of disease' or NED (my favourite word)!.

I wish Ms Applegate a long, healthy, cancer-free life; I wish the same to anyone who has been struck by this filthy disease!. But like everyone who has had breast cancer, she can't be guaranteed that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with lo mc, there is no way the doctors would have told her she is cancer free!. She currently has no cancer cells that are detectable with current scanning devices!. I do wish her the best, she played a dumb blonde on TV but really appears to be a great person!. Of course there are many actress's that play smart people on TV but are dumb as hell in real life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hope it's true, and I applaud her positive attitude!. With cancer treatments, often it's that kind of attitude that can make a difference!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
