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, my husband has stage 4 cancer of the oesophagus spread to the liver, prognosis not good, but we are trying diet / nutrition etc as well as conventional treatment and hoping for the best. Meanwhile my sister has stage 4 melanoma, 18 months ago she was told she had about a year to live. Now they are saying more likely 5 years and she is 'in remission'! There is hope for us and our families..

Hi everyone I've just seen this post and thought I'd write to give u all hope ,I've was diagnosed with secondary cervical in 2012 ,the cancer was in 5 places in my lymph nodes ,after chemo and radiotherapy my scans ever 4 month keep coming back saying no sign of cancer , my doctor said my cancer will never go away it will probably b there in tiny bits that the scan cant see but for me even that's great , I'm living a completely normal life . I just thought I'd write this because when I'm looking on the internet to see how long people live with secondary cancer it's mostly pretty negative. I do believe positive thinking really helps
Hi Emcg yes being positive helps definitely. I've got prostate Cancer that's gone to lymph nodes, spine, ribs, pelvis and a lung. Was diagnosed Feb 2016 its classed as palliative care i live with my uninvited guest. Living a normal life working till i had to retire to look after my disabled wife she needs 24 /7 care she has Alzheimers and parkinsons.. People can live with cancer a long time.. Best wishes for the future.....
Hi thank you for your post .it has given me hope .my sister 36 was just recently diagnosed also. She has stage 4 cervical cancer of unknown primary. The secondary cancer is in her lympnodes .all scans show no cancer in her cervix and it hasn't spread to any other organs thankfully .I've been out of my mind with worry and fear because just with stage 4 upon hearing it you instantly fear the worse .thankfully she is very positive and is halfway through her treatment at the moment .she too was also told its incurable. Thank you again and I wish you continued good health your story has made me feel a bit at ease .
The internet is a shambles never up-to-date full of gloom and does not give facts for individuals and up-to-date treatments. I'm very pleased for you Maggie is
