>>Does survival mean that the disease was "beaten" by the patient or did they just get lucky?<< Patricia - I don't feel like I've "beaten" cancer. I feel more like I've been beaten up by the treatment. My doctor says that I am "cured", but as you suggest, I think I just got lucky. My cancer was detected when it was at Stage Two, and only barely into Stage Two. My father wasn't as lucky. He died of the same kind of cancer in 1999. I know that cancer treatments have improved, and that survival rates are better now than they were twenty or thirty years ago. But more people are getting cancer now. I think science needs to focus more on how to prevent cancer. A lot of evidence suggests that the standard Western diet is a large part of the problem, but you really don't hear much about that. - Allen
