I'm only going to note for the sake of accuracy that my doctors have stopped short of saying they're hoping for a <i>complete</i> recovery. Women don't, as a general rule, recover from recurrent uterine cancer but it is sometimes possible to live with it well beyond the average, which is two years from onset of recurrence. My doctors haven't told me in so many words I'm going to do this. On the other hand, when they <i>stop</i> telling you what the life-expectancy is, it means you can infer that your life span is as open-ended as anyone's, including people without cancer. <br /><br />It may seem a bit nitpicky to point this out but oncologists have to be careful not to promise good things. Cancer's a bastard and a loose cannon and there are no guarantees. But while things are good, you go with it and hope for the best.<br />Pat Cadiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143160095849372053noreply@blogger.com
