I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma when I was 22. By the time the doctors "treated" me (I had no insurance) it has spred to my kidneys, spleen, chest,neck, pelvis. Never that I know of did it ever get to the brain.
I am not sure of the odds, but this is one of the "best" cancers to get. I had an autotogolous stem cell transplant and am now in remission.
Cancer is very tricky. My cancer played tricks with me. I was due for 12 treatments. At testing during treatment #6 every tumor in my body had disappeared. I finished all treatments and 2 months later they all came back.
I pray for your sister and like they told me age is on her side. Redundant as it seems a positive outlook and love can be almost as good as the medicine.
May God be with you and your family.
What are the odds of beating colon cancer? What are the odds/percentages of beating colon cancer
It depends on what stage the patient is in when they are diagnosed. An early colon cancer (Stage I or II) can be removed surgically. No chemo. No radiation. Very good odds of a full recovery.
If you're talking about a Stage III cancer, things get a little more iffy. Surgery. Probably chemo. Probably radiation. Odds aren't in your favor.
A Stage IV cancer isn't good. Probably no surgery. Definitely chemo and probably radiation. There is no cure.

do you think Polamolu will be all over Brady?
will it be the defence or the offence as a determining factor?
As much as I like the Steelers, they'll have to be at their best to beat the Patriots in Foxboro! I don't think the odds are good of them beating the Patriots with anything less than a total team effort on both sides of the ball!!!
What were the odds on Mohamed Ali beating George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle" prior to the fight?
Ali wasn't favored to win. Foreman was favored 7 -1.
I know of only one guy who gave Ali a chance in that fight. Kenny Norton said Ali would beat Foreman. Howard Cosell said Ali was too old and that Foreman would win. Joe Louis said Foreman would KO Ali in 7 rounds. Jerry Quarry said Foreman would KO Ali in 4 rounds. Norton said Ali would win easily and he did.

what are the odds of beating cancer? My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She is 63. They discovered it early and the doctors say the cancer is small and has not spread. She will have surgury to remove it and some kind of drug therapy (don't know what yet). Will she be ok?
Yes, your mother has a very good chance of beating the cancer under these circumstances. The rates of survival vary from cancer to cancer, from stage to stage, and depend upon when it is detected and removed. All the signs in your mother's case are positive. If she has chemotherapy, she will need your moral and perhaps personal support if the side effects are discouraging. (If they are, during the first round, have her talk to her doctor about changing the protocol. Different people respond differently to the different protocols. Email me for further details.)
