And everyone's case is completely different from everyone else's. I can tell you that there are people here who've beaten what appeared to have been unbeatable odds ... and when they give advice, be sure to listen! But the percentages don't matter nearly as much as doing what you and your doctors decide is the best treatment for YOU, and then you taking the very best care of YOU that you possibly can. That will be a highly individualized thing, since we all react differently to treatments, have different complications (or even no complications), and so on.
((hugs)) I saw your other post about having surgery soon. It looks like you've already been reading and getting prepared ... so you're off to a good start!
