Without Amazon Prime membership, you will be paying $12 on average for two-day shipping on each purchase. If you typically buy one item each month from Amazon using two-day shipping, you would be spending at least $114 a year, making an Amazon Prime membership worth the cost.
RE: alternative treatments for stomach cancer. by DorothyL on Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:24 AM. Thanks for your response. The options we are given is 9 weeks of 3 different kinds of chem (apparently the worse kind), removal of the stomach, and then 9 more weeks of chemo. 5 year survival rate is 27% with most people living for only 24 months. we were also told that CT scans are not conclusive and that if he is opened up (surgery), and there is cancer there (which is possible), then, in the doctor's own words, then we've let the horse out of the barn.
Survival rates show the percentage of people with a certain type and stage of cancer who survive the disease for a certain period of time after they are diagnosed. A 5-year survival rate is the percentage of people who are alive 5 years after they are diagnosed.These are the people it includes:he 5-year survival rate for stage IIIA breast cancer is 72 percent. Stage IIIA means the tumor has spread to lymph nodes, but not to distant sites. The 5-year survival rate for stage IV breast cancer is 22 percent. Stage IV means the cancer has spread to other organs.
