Neil, Indeed what Gary has said is true: people die from this disease stage 1 and people survive stage 4. The best thing is to believe in the possibility of surviving, and living each day as though it might be the last (and enjoying every second).

You will never hear me bragging about having beaten cancer. I simply know that I got up today and had a fairly normal life. What happens tomorrow remains unknown.


To Candice,

Part of the reason it is hard to find survivors on the internet or anywhere is because they aren't making a big deal about it. They have moved on and are coping with their "new normal" another reason is that this cancer is more prevalent in older populations. These people are, as a group, not yet computer literate.

Take care
