survival rate - stage 4 cancer?!

Hello 

I Just want to find hope and hear hopeful stories on here of people who have known family members or friends - who managed to recover from "terminal" cancer.

  • Hi Maz,

    That's brilliant! It is always good to read about good news :-)

    Thanks

  • In that case, I was told at my 3 monthly consultation that there's no trace of myeloma - 6 months clear now.

    I feel exactly the same as before I was told - this is how it is and it's sufficient for the needs of the moment.

    According to figures I've previously read, about 15% of myeloma patients achieve this remission without a stem cell transplant. Ironically, if I'd have had one, I'd not have survived the colitis and sepsis..

    Everybody's cancer experience is unique, I think.
