peer agreement (net): +1stopped treatment Explanation: You're right in that the wording seems rather weird and ambiguous. With the reference to every year I'm guessing that it means that every time the treatment was stopped (usually they stop treatment to allow the patients immune system to recover, as well as to evaluate how it affects the cancer) the cancer got worse. It could also be that they thought they'd managed to treat everything, but then after a period of non-treatment (1 year) it started up again. The reason for stopping the treatment isn't mentioned however, so I don't think it would be right to make a call either way. This could also be an editing artifact - it's possible that the second part of the line should have read something like "men etter hvert så har han fått tilbakefall". I'd contact the client and ask for clarification. |

6 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1then stopped Explanation: after that he had treatment for several years, then stopped, but he got worse year by year. tilbakefall = relapse It means that he got worse, after recovery. The treatment lasted several years. Then he stopped the treatment. Then several years without treatment. After each year with no treatment, he got worse (had relapse). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2008-06-20 06:41:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The text is not ambiguous. It's absolutely clear. But Frode is right about the theory that there could be an error in the text, that it should read: "men etter hvert så har han fått tilbakefall". That doesn't change the info very much, but it means "later he got worse again" rather than "got worse again each year". I wouldn't bother about checking this out because the difference is subtle, and considered that this is cancer, he has probably got slowly worse, year by year. That's how cancer works. Anything else is less plausible. |
