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.....
