Thanks. A regular, normal, average day is something nice. I almost forgot that it was the 10 year mark. It is nice to be at a point where the cancer is a distant memory.

My late husband smoked it every day to combat his Crohn's Disease. He also smoked cigarettes, lots and lots of cigarettes. He was diagnosed with renal cell cancer on 7-2-15 and died from it on 7-22-15. Don't believe everything you read! Maybe if he'd quit smoking he'd be alive today!

Every case is different because each patient is different. After my brother was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer he opted for chemo and radiation and the results were disastrous. All it accomplished was that the doctors and hospital could bill more to the insurance company and my brother (and later his widow).

My mom was on chemo for 13 months give or take. She was miserable but I think she did it to prologue her life for my brothers and sister and I. I took care of her so I watched her all of those months in agony. She made the decision to stop and at the time I didn't want her to. I didn't want to lose my mother.

Almost a month to the day after she stopped, we lost her. In all honesty and with hindsight, I probably would have rathered a few quality months with my mother than what she went through extending her life in misery.

It was awful for her and I wish she would have thought of herself for one time in her life than for others, as much as it pains me to say.

I am nearly 42 and when she passed I was 26, having lost my father to cancer 5 years before then.
