@Annski I hope you’re feeling better soon. I am 3 years cancer free and counting. I had Pure Micropapillary Cancer with 5 cancerous lymph nodes, satellite tumours, some of which were quite large. I’m up to surgery 7.
The odds are different for everyone and it is tiring worrying about stats and odds. Ultimately, it’s a bit like crossing the road, you might get hit by a bus but you might not.
