64%.

That is the percentage that Jenn will be alive in 10 years. Wow. The first time we have heard news like that. That came from the Oncologist today. And I wasn't there. I feel like shit. The one doctor's appointment I miss. The one I thought that it would just be getting the schedule set up for chemo and what the treatment will be. Then boom, he hits her with this bomb. It actually started out at 7%. That is the percent that she will be alive in 10 years if she does nothing. Add radiation, it ups it to about 24% and with chemo and radiation it brings it up to 64%. Pretty sobering news. Add to it the fact that if it ever comes back, it will be terminal as they can't apparently treat the same cancer twice as your body becomes immune to it. The good news that was presented was that if she does get through the 10 years, it is unlikely that it will come back at all. So, the only option is to get her through the next 10 years. I know with her age, her health and hopefully the cancer is nowhere else in her body and they got it all out, that number could increase substantially. She was very distraught as she was telling me this, as I think anyone would be, but she said she would give herself this night to cry but then that would be it. Nothing but positive thoughts after that. That's my girl...
