Well glad to know..Cain is now cancer free!
Do you really think Todd Palin does not want to take care of his wife and children and protect them from harm?
I just don’t see Todd Palin doing first lady duties....
Apparently Cain just had his five year anniversary without a recurrence several weeks ago. Looks like they are using a five year anniversary without a recurrence to declare Cain "cancer free".
Perhaps that's what they do with colon cancer and some other cancers. With breast cancer, as I have witnessed with a family member, that's not the case. Just as many recurrences occur after five years.
Back to Stage IV colon cancer, the statistics show that only about 5% of such cancer patients survive past the 5 year anniversary. One website describes Stage IV colon cancer this way. "Unfortunately, there have been very few cases of people who have lived more than 5 years with stage 4 of this disease."
I would describe Cain's survival past five years of Stage IV colon cancer as absolutely incredible.
More on the sematics of cancer and whether one should be called "cured" at a certain point in time. Some doctors declare patients cured or free of cancer while others don't given the same situation.
I don't know why you asked me this rhetorical question.
