What are the odds of survival for bone cancer?Pls reply.?

Question

The person is 25 yrs old, and he is in the first stages,, is there a possibility that he will recover completely? Can bone cancer be completely cured,,,, Please reply.

Answer 1

Cancer is never considered completely cured. We still no so little about it, despite all the claims. Odds really don't matter. It's totally individual. I lost a close friend to Melanoma 7 years after the docs said they'd cut it all out and it hadn't spread. The wife of another friend was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer in Aug., 1999 - and it had spread. She was told she had less the 1% chance of surviving more than 2 years. She finished her Chemo just over 6 years ago and, except for relatively minor problems that resulted from the extensive surgery, she has been fine. Her mother had breast cancer in her late 40's and did fine. Got it in the other breast in her 70's and beat it again (9 years ago). If you are unlucky enough to get Cancer, you can be lucky enough to survive! I know a guy who had a massive stroke recently. A week later the docs said he would stay paralyzed on left side. He had to be fed and asked that the remove the feeding tube. Two days later (even tho he'd given up), he began to regain movement on his left side and his speech cleared remarkably. It's been about 6 weeks and he's walking some. I repeat, with any of this stuff, it's entirely individual! So LIVE while alive!

Answer 2

hmmm where to start....well first the type of bone cancer will help determine treatment and outcome...there are a couple that are very aggressive that start in the bones....as someone else mentioned that it maybe somewhere else first well that you see alot more in older patients...but in the young it can be only bone ca sometimes....sometimes depending on where in the bones and if its responding to treatment or not will determine if surgery is needed..sometimes that surgery needs to be radical enough to save the persons life..unfortunately the person usually loses a limb...whoever this patient is I hope that they are seeing and being treated by an orthopedic oncologist..thats all these guys do bone cancers...but seeing as this person is in stage 1 he's lucky to have caught it so quick....many dont find out they have it until later stages which makes it harder to treat....

Answer 3

Primary bone cancer is very rare. Are you certain the cancer didn't start somewhere else and then spread to his bones? This would be a much more likely scenario.

Answer 4

I'm not sure...but I'm aware that we can cure anything if done correctly. Otherwise, cancer wouldn't exist anymore if it were done the right way. I read a book about why cancers come about and how you can fix them. You should try going to a natural health store and looking at the books they have. It's possible, if you cleansed out his entire body.... but otherwise, I dunno. It's up to you guys. Do the reserach and see how determined you are.
