Hi I have small cell lung cancer which was diagnosed in 2015 and was told that there was no time that they could give me for when this cancer usually takes peoples' lives. It was put to me as, don't believe the internet that says 5 years, that's not always the case. Well as I, thank The Lord, have come upon my 2 year mark with no more growth, my Dr. says, oh Small Cell Lung Cancer usually gives the patient only 18 months to live. So now that you're at the 2 year mark, you're considered in remission. If you get to the five year mark, we consider you cured. I find myself getting very frustrated and angry, feeling sort of..... misled. What if I did only have 18 months? I would have lived my life differently if he had told me the truth. I thought Dr.'s were supposed to be bound to tell you the truth! Am I just nitpicking? Or are my feelings valid for thinking this Dr. was totally wrong.
