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.
Survival rates for oral cancer depend on the precise site, and the stage of the cancer at diagnosis. Overall, 2011 data from the SEER database shows that survival is around 57% at five years when all stages of initial diagnosis, all genders, all ethnicities, all age groups, and all treatment modalities are considered.
