CCC List I was in a bad situation with my third round of OC. I had to choose weather to be treated or to quit while I was ahead and pack it in. My odds of survival were very slim. My plan was the wrong one and I finally gave in and listened to the OCF members and Brian Hill who helped me to understand I couldnt just quit without at least giving it a try to beat the OC. Even with all the surgical complications, I somehow survived. My point in telling you this is that even with slim odds, you never know.... you still could beat this. You are young which is to your advantage, your body bounces back quicker than an elderly person in the same situation. Wishing you all the very best with everything!!!!!
