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.
The five-year survival rate is the percentage of people who survive at least five years after the cancer is found. Overall, the five-year survival rate of people with liver cancer is 17%. For the 42% of people who are diagnosed at an early stage, the five-year survival rate is 30%.If liver cancer has spread to surrounding tissues or organs and/or the regional lymph nodes, the five-year survival rate is 11%.If the cancer has spread to a distant part of the body, the five-year survival rate is 3%.iver cancer is the tenth most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death among men, and the ninth most common cause of cancer death among women. When compared to the United States, liver cancer is much more common in developing countries within Africa and East Asia.
