Good for you. I hope you continue to beat it and eventually winning....my Mom did.
I heard recently, something like 1.4 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year and 0.5 million of them will lose that battle, but that means nearly 2 out of 3 beat it.

For the last three years I've worked in a department with about 30 people and fully half of them have cancer. That's because the employees that come down with serious illnesses are moved to that department.

I've shared their ups and downs, triumphs and defeats, and listened to their stories, many of which are searches for information.

I've seen the sparkle in their eyes when they find some new treatment and seen the sparkle fade when they talk to others that have researched and in many cases tried these treatments. They are disappointed but they want the truth above all else.
