It has has the fastest rate of new lines of treatment out of any cancer. The 5 year statistic data is so out of date they would need to re-do it every year. Since I was diagnosed I have lost count the number of new drugs that have been approved and there's hundreds more still being looked at. To end on an even more positive note... STILL IN REMISSION BABY! 5 years since diagnosis on Sunday. Feels like a milestone. Great news! It certainly is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 An aside. Every week we visit my mum. Every week she slips the kids a pound or two. On Saturday we went to Tesco in Alloa after visiting. My daughter put her couple of quid in the Marie Curie tin. When I asked why she just said "Grandpa" It got me. By the time I got home I was blubbing. She is 13, was 12 when cancer took him. They were very close. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you’re getting the support you need to progress, don’t rule out that making retirement…even if it’s just to piss off some pols. Stay strong and feel free to share tales and tips, God knows there’s enough people around that can benefit from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
