What it means is that the first round of treatment has been a success but there's a long way to go before he can be said to be free of the disease. The normal course of events, or at least what has happened to Leukemia sufferers that I know, would be to follow up the chemotherapy with a bone marrow transplant from a matching donor. They usually reckon about 12 months treatment from start to finish for a typical sufferer (although a fit sportsmen is probably not a typical sufferer) so although this is good news and a great start there is still a way to go before we can say for certain that he's cured.

I'll just add as a disclaimer that I'm not a doctor and am just speaking from experience of people who I have met over the past few months and that it is entirely possible that other cases might take a different course entirely.

Thanks for the info, Chris. I wasn't entirely sure what it meant, so that's made it a lot clearer.

Good start for Stan, excellent stuff.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head Chris.
My sister in law worked on the cancer unit for many years and said very much along the same lines, she did go into greater detail but I won't bore you all.
There are a couple of variants of leukemia, so it depends on which one Stan has.
It will help with him being a fit sportsman.
It's a long way to go, and I'm sure there'll be many ups and downs along the way.

Stan has 100% of Villa fans united in support of him.
Fingers, and anything else, crossed that the good news keeps coming.

I keep thinking Geoff Thomas and Bob Champion they made a sucessful recovery from this awful illness (and thats probably the wrong word.)

Its good news for Stan and his wife. Lets hope the positive news keeps coming.

Great news.
Not an expert on remission but him off Breaking Bad went into remission in season 1 and they're on season 5 now so it must be good.

Same logic I used. I wonder if Stan will sell me any crystal...


In all seriousness, this is amazing to hear, keep going Staniel - we love you.

I've just been told by a reliable source that he's in remission. Best news of the day.

That's brilliant news. Wishing Stan continued strength on the journey back to full health.
