I was given a 23% 5 year survival rate about 11 years ago,based on staging of T2N2bM0.
Maybe a suggestion of losing the chip might help. No one here is out to "get" you. We've all been down a road similar to you, as a patient or caregiver. We have nothing to hide and nobody to trick. I can't speak for anything before you came here, but I can assure you no one here has anything but your best interests at heart.
