    My mother was probably one of the people you read about. thats great that your father is in remission and so was my mother.from my experiance just be sure that if your father has any new symptons at all, check them out, and if he has new growths, don't let the doctor talk you into waiting to long to recheck it. facts are untreated small cell kills in 8 weeks. my mother had a spot that they didn't know wether or not was a regrowth , and the doctors rechecked it in 6 weeks. by the recheck it was in her liver and brain, she died 2 weeks later. if they had either done a brain scan or a recheck in 2 weeks instead of 6 we would have had a chance to fight it again. she was too weak by the recheck. i would say have new symptons examined, even if they are minor, and if something comes up questionabe on the scans, recheck it in a couple of weeks. good luck to you. i hope your father's doctors do better than my mother's did
