Well, without the treatments, you have 0% chance of long-term survival, right?

With the treatments, the odds vary. Keep an eye on it. Get scanned as often as you can, to catch any flare-ups early.

My uncle's girlfriend, about 62 years old just died. She had a cancer that was inoperable and incurable, but "treatable." She was getting chemo enough to keep it in remission. All was going well. Then, one time she had a scan and it had flared up so much she was gone in a matter of weeks.

So, I'm glad to hear it, but wanted to advise you on that.

I had another cat scan(last week)& it turns out that there is still cancer showing up in the lymph nodes in my left armpit! The DR suggested that I let it ride for 3 mo & see what happens. I hope that I don't have to go thru all of that crap again. I'll be 74 next week & a few yrs ago I hadn't a care in the world. At least I can still ride! The only trouble is that if you have those treatments you feal to crappy to ride! Oh to be young & foolish again! All of my friends that lived a healthy lifestyle are dead now! Irish
