I have been told that with the treatment of VP-16 and Carbamazepine, 2 years is the maximum life expectancy. However, after working in Oncology for 6 years, I found that though this cancer as well as any is devastating, the quality and longevity of life is mostly up to the patient and their outlook about life. God is in control of everything. Faith, surrounding the patient with positivity, and constant love and support can do amazing things. Who are we to put a time limit on someones life? Yes, I know that a large group of SCLC patients were placed in a group, given the treatment and watched to see who responded, lived and died. I get statistics. I just believe that all things can be done with Christ who gives us strength. So I say we stop asking how long we have, and live each day like it's our last, counting the blessings we have today and praying for tomorrow.

Caucasian Women Have the Best Bone Cancer Prognosis ?

One of the biggest factors that determines a patient's bone cancer prognosis is the current stage of the disease. If the bone cancer has metastasized to the lymph nodes, or other areas of the body, the cancer will be harder to successfully treat, resulting in a shorter survival rate. Five-year survival-rate statistics help a physician calculate a particular patient's bone cancer prognosis. Male, Caucasian adults have the worst survival rate while female, Caucasian adults have the best survival rate. The five-year bone cancer survival rates range from 67-74 percent when averaging all races.

What determines the prognosis for primary bone cancer?

The prognosis for bone cancer is only reached after diagnosis and testing. The easiest and current technology uses what is called a "bone scan." You are actually injected with a radioactive nucleide into your blood stream, and after a couple of hours, when the material has reached your bones, you lie on a table that very slowly passes under a special camera, much like a CT scan or an MRI, while remaining as still as possible. The result is a very detailed look at all of your bones. In cancer what they often look for are dark areas in your bone mass, which may indicate trouble. I have had this done to me. Except for the actual needle stick, it is a totally painless procedure.
