Back in the day there was a saying that only God and surgeons cured cancer. If you can cut it out, it is still the best option and I thank God, I was able to get mine surgically removed.
Radiation is radiation but chemo has changed a lot in the last 20 years. There are many cancers considered curable with chemo now. There are other cancers which never responded to treatment now responding to newer meds.
Still a long way to go but this is an exciting time for new cancer treatments.
I am hopeful but and losing my faith... very quickly. I have a friend who was diagnosed and they did option #1 and are about to follow up with option #2.
About the only positive thing is that they discovered it before it spread... we hope.
