After Cancer Success Stories
« on: September 13, 2015, 07:47:26 am »
As our planet becomes more knowledgeable about cancer, I wondered if we could post our success stories here. My father had cancer of his kidney when he was just 28 years old, I was just 2. He had his kidney removed and then remained cancer free for 41 years. His cancer returned to his other kidney and by the time he was 69, it had spread to his other organs so sadly he died. However by then, he had reached nearly 70 years old, he had met all but one of his grandchildren and most importantly, I got to spend a number of decades getting to know the best dad ever!

My Mom survived colon cancer.  It was discovered 7 years ago and she had to have a resection done.  She's 93 now.

I sincerely believe there already IS a cure for cancer (many kinds of cancer), however, since people are already living longer, we'll never see those cures.
