Remission question...

My hematologist said I was in remission after my last marrow test. (Painful by the way) my blast count was 2-3%. My doctor said I should continue chemo as it will keep me in remission. I thought that remission meant I could get off chemo. I have had Dacogen treatments for a year and a half. No problems with the dacogen. I just don't think I need to be on chemo forever. Should I seek a second opinion? I know this chemo is expensive and a money maker for the hospital. Someone please give me feedback on this! Thanks.
