It depends on the type of cancer, it's progression and possibility for remission. I have know people to survive 20 years or more after treatments.
2 :
Some cancers are now curable. It depends on what type it is and how advanced it is. The diagnosis is not a death sentence, and we, as physicians, now speak of "living with cancer." Quality of life on chemo and radiation therapy is also much improved over what it used to be. Good luck!

You need to make sure that your body is operating at it's full potentail and is getting the right nutrients for the job. Get natural suppliments and eat healthy foods and your survival rate is greatly increased. The best natural suppliment is Tahitian noni juice. Plenty of information is on the internet about it.

it all depends on what kind of cancer

Radiation and Chemo are the #1 and 2 things you do not want to do when it comes to cancer. We have reversed 54 forms of cancer since 1980 with nutrition. MIT calls our method Glycosylation. MIT has never endorsed anything dealing with nutrition. They also said what we have WILL change the world of health care.

It depends on the type of cancer. You should really talk to your Dr and ask him/her questions. That is what they are there for is not just to make you well but answer any questions that you have and if you don't feel comfortable with the answer they give you, you can always go somewhere else for a second opinion.

Every cancer is different and some more treatable than others. Also a lot depends on the general heath of the patient and the stage of the cancer. I had stage 3 testicular cancer that spread to my right lung and abdoman and had major surgery, and 2 transplants and I'm in good health today so I'm a survivor.
