Kelly,
I am fairly sure they sensed you were comfortable at Michigan, they thought you could get great care there. My RO there (at MDA) would never give me any odds, which I was not asking for, just a general idea of what he thought. Smart man.
After my first check up, my ENT oncologist volunteered that he thought I would be "fine", despite what any odds you might find in this study or that, but never did he say anything before this point.
The thing is even if the odds are not in your favor, SOMEONE has to survive, and it might as well be you, Kelly! Again, stay strong.
Best,
Anne
