Since I’m 7 years passed chemo, I’d say the 3 month average is BS.
My point is that these expectancy estimates are the Doc’s best guess, based upon your specific circumstances.
Your guess about stage 3 trials or post trial use, suggesting 3 more months of life, is pure nonsense.
“Your guess about stage 3 trials or post trial use”
It wasn’t a guess, it was an answer.
I’m glad to hear you have done well after chemo. Surely you understand that the 3 month hypothetical this guy was talking about was just that - an example of someone whose life would have been expected to be extended by 3 months after getting the appropriate chemo for that type of cancer. I’m guessing that this hypothetical cancer is not the type you had.
When my father had his first fight with cancer, his life expectancy was normal, after chemo cleared it up. When he had his second fight with cancer 12 years later, the expectancy was that his life would be extended by 2 years after he completed the chemo regimin. He lasted one.
