I think "improvement" can, and should, be viewed in different ways.

For someone whose PN is advancing spreading, slowing or halting progression is improvement.
For someone whose progression is halted/stable, lessening of one or more symptoms is improvement.
For someone whose symptoms have lessened, regression is improvement.

Getting past any kind of hurdle, like panic, fear, & negativity is improvement.
Setting goals and achieving them (small steps) is improvement.
Adopting a positive attitude/outlook is improvement, and every little improvement is cause for further positive outlook, which is further improvement.
Improvement is where we find it.
Sometimes we don't notice it unless we look for it.
