Absolutely. My grandmother is 88 years old and battled breast and lymph node cancer for 5 years, since she was 83 . They gave her six months to live back then.She has been going to her regular check ups and has been ok ever since. No cancer to be found.
It's just a matter of getting a good handle on it and good treatment. Although 70 years old is quite an accomplishment itself, I would say you could live another decade or so. You should consult with your doctor and get a second and third opinion. And above all stay positive about beating it.

I would think so. Its not like ur 100 or something... So if you get treatment, you'll most likely be fine.
P.S. I am so sorry that you hve cancer... My mom passed on from breast cancer in 2005, and she was 53. So even tho, I have never had cancer, I know how it feels to worry. I pray that all will be well for you.. And if you already haven't given your life to Jesus, please do. He loves you so much! pray to him and surrender all to him, so that you can live a fuller life and go to heaven when its your time..
