"Don't accept an original dismal prognosis that may initially be offered by a non specialist. Each case is unique and each patient is an individual! Published statistics do not reflect the unique case of a newly diagnosed patient, whose options for long term survival are continually improving through modern medical treatment." Gabriella Graham, twelve year cancer survivor
