Yes, that is strange, but it may be her condition precluded that for some reason.

A very sad story, but I’m glad that fellow took her to the prom, I’m sure it was quite thrilling for her.

Pardon the expression, but you’re pretty much a goner with liver cancer. Treatment is a delaying tactic. It’s also one of those types that is prone to metastasis. Lost a friend to it in 2003. It was in his spine in no time.

Not true. I had a friend with liver cancer who had a transplant and lived for 21 years before he got cancer again and passed.

I’m glad to hear that. I honestly don’t know what the stats are, i.e. how common what you describe is.

At the time, I told my GP about it & that is what he told me.

I looked up stats:

For all stages combined, the relative 5-year survival rate from liver cancer is about 15%.

Lot of variables and variations, including where the cancer started. But as a whole, pretty poor odds.

Living the words of our Lord and Savior:

“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord... when did we see You sick...and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’”

Blessed to be a blessing. GOD’s blessings on Sen’Derrick and thanksgiving for his example.

So very glad this young lady had a wonderful night of enjoyment.

This cancer scourge has got to STOP.
Many believe there’s some answers ‘out there’ that are being snuffed.
It’s been advised in some circles to keep the immune system healthy, and boosted, to fight off cancer.
It makes me crazy when, year after YEAR, on TV ‘commercials,’ college students are hoping to find the ‘answer to cancer - ‘
Can we hear from some of those students NOW ? - it’s been years since their hopes of finding the ‘answer to cancer.’
What a rhyme - I’m getting angry right about now - - -
