My fiance was diagnosed with Chronic Myloid Leukemia 3 years ago and was told in September 2006 he was in remission (no known cancer cells) and I want to know if he is in remission for a period of time, would he be considered cancer free?

Never cancer free, in remission, just means it is inactive. It is unlike other types and never goes away, sorry.

I don't know the answer to your question but I would like to put the word out to as many people as possible that electromagnetic fields are linked to cancer (including leukemia). I bought a gauss meter online and conducted tests in my home and my parents. To my dismay, I live near power lines and the meter showed that the EMF were in the dangerous ranges. Thankfully, I rent and am going to be moving soon.

We were told 5 years in remission, my daughter had AML. We have 4 and a half years to go. Good luck too your husband and family

They say after 5 clean years, you can be considered cancer-free, but that amount of time can change with every case. Good luck to you both!
