The Ai's serve a purpose- often someone will post something and it does not get responded to right away, and sometimes, not at all. The answer to a simple question may be all that's needed. No one likes to be left hanging in the wind when stressed!

If the AI does not answer the question in mind, it may help that member to reframe their question in such a way that a more specific answer can be determined. We have all read questions posted that lack the details necessary for any of us to be helpful.

And the AI response, does not preclude any one from adding a personal response. It is just one more tool in the tool box.

To determine if your breast cancer is in remission, your oncologist will conduct follow-up visits and tests. Here are some key points:

- Complete Remission: Yearly mammography is recommended if there are no new or returning symptoms.
- Partial Remission: More frequent follow-ups are needed. Tests may include imaging tests, blood tests for tumor markers, and biopsies to check for new or remaining tumors.

Always report any new symptoms like lumps, pain, or changes in energy to your doctor.
