MissJv, Only the USA has the great medical engines running at full cost. Most other countries have some sort of protection for their citizens. Even China which spends on average under $27 per capita on health care has almost the same stats as the USA. It appears that the stats tend to even out world...

Stats are just numbers... They vary from one research organization to another depending on the agenda that a particular statistician or organization desires to promote. Looking to survivors and emulate the survival characteristics seems to be a larger factor than any other in overall survival. MissJ...

Thanks for responding. I am trying to be objective. I agree with what most of you are saying about surviving. The link to survival appears to be something within the individual. I believe it is mostly willpower or a personal belief that heals. Very likely the survivors upon DX begin a drastic change...

I am asking questions... I do not know what "IT" is. I am asking others what their "IT" was.

For those survivors who have significant healing or NED, to what do you owe your survival? I am asking what do you feel in your "Gut" has helped you to live. Oncology may be a factor, but I do not think it is the most significant factor. I think there are other factors which each individual may feel...

Although by no means a formal investigation, I am interested in Causal factors of cancer. If you have an idea or theory as to what caused YOUR cancer, please tell us. I am not asking what the textbook or the oncologists says. I am asking for "Gut" feelings. Some may feel they smoked or used tobacco,...

Thanks again for your answers. Sorry to hear about the other things going on in your life. Maybe somehow life has a different Chaos planned for you. I noticed two things in your post. You mentioned much walking and also fishing. Both f these may expose you to a great deal of Sunshine. UV Light and V...

Ron, Glad to hear you have beat it! Did you change your dietary habits? Outlook on life? Prayer? Exercise? Sleep? or stress load? Are there any of those "little things" that add up? Or do you mostly think it was your iron will not to die? Also how did you feel upon DX? Were you emboldened? Or, did y...

If you plan a Liver resection... Take a look at the difference RFA can make on blood volume loss. RFA can be a treatment.. or it can at least help the resection go more smoothly.
