“One in six?”

I lost my Dad to this killer, and I can tell you, “One in six” would have made us jump for joy. Right now, even with the most aggressive chemo your chances are listed at less than 2%. In fact, all the doctors would discuss was the number of months of life increase that ‘might’ occur. Cure was out of the question.

I just don’t like when newspapers raise expectations like that. It is a very high number, yes, and that with the IPI alone; the expectations seem very high compared to the drug combination.

I’ve had cancer deaths in my family too, albeit not from skin cancer.
