Great Article- Living with metastatic cancer long term

Brenda3.16

Yesterday while I was at my Onc office I read an article in "cure" magazine. It was a great article. It talks about the increasing number of "chronic" metastatic patients who are living long term with cancer. Suzanne Lindley is mentioned in the article. She was DX in 1998 with metastatic colon cancer. She was told she had 6 months to live at that time. In 2004 she was again told she would die. Twelve years later she is still alive and doing well. She has mets to the liver, spine and lungs. Still in treatment. She has had many different chemo drugs and procedures. She watched her kids graduate from High School and got her masters degree in social work during this time.

Great article - thanks for posting. Now I have a new term for myself -- a hitchhiker! That's me. All I have to do is stay one step ahead of the next new drug/treatment approach. Living with cancer.

Great magazine
I love Cure magazine. So much inspiration and good information! My oncologist gives his patients a subcription to it. Mine was recently going to run out, and all I had to do was go to their website and say I wanted to continue getting it. No charge!
