And yes, you care incorrectly classified as CARCINOID CANCER in the Navigating Cancer which you should tell them about. They should classify you as CUP/Unknown Primary. Typically, the pathology does give reading on where the tumor may have started, however, not always the case! Indeed, the info I gave you is for carcinoid. Also, you disease was widespread but appears to have been addressed with the chemo combination! good for you! 8 years of no cancer! wow....<br /><br />But one thing, as someone with cancer, NOT ONE MD CAN REALLY TELL YOU WITH CLARITY WHAT YOUR LIFE PROGNOSIS IS NOR CAN THEY TELL YOU ITS TERMINAL!?!? yOU WERE JUST GIVEN WRONG INFO...BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!<br /> I hear that too many times, to me, oncology now is ABOUT one step away from the medieval Md's who used to "bleed people" for a cure. They just dont know, ESP WITH RARE CANCER! and if you went to 5 different Md for your disease, you would get 5 different options and prognosis!<br /><br />The end of day, you do have extensive disease but the chemo seems to have treated it. YOU BEAT THE ODDS! The interesting thing is pathology can clearly define the type and aggressiveness, but that happens.<br /><br />enjoy life as I think you have been able to put that "elephant in the room" aside and cant even notice it!<br />Do tell NC to reclassify you as you do not have carcinoid!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
