Nh Lymphoma Cancer What Are Residuals, Static And Watching And Waiting?

[bcbcbc]

Would like to know what these terms mean within the VA!! I'm 5 weeks since I had my last Chemo and am on the wait and watching mode.

bcbcbc,

I believe "residuals" usually refers to what is remaining of a disease after an eradification effort is made. The term "static" indicates that a medical condition has not changed or remains the same. The term "watching and waiting" is often used when a disease is currently asymptomatic and doctors continue to monitor the disease for signs the disease has become symptomatic.

Hope this helps.

Good luck to you.
