False info on Irfan's health. Mods pls close!! - Page 4

^It all depends on what stage he is in and how aggressive the cancer is. I know people who have recovered and are still cancer-free 10-15 years after the original diagnosis so it's possible.

^^So there are good chances of his recovery right? I can't imagine what sort of hell his poor family must be going through.

The biggest problem with cancer is that it tends to return. You're considered in remission if you've remained cancer-free for 5 years. But many times it comes back even after that. It always leaves you with a lot of stress and tension because there's never any guarantee.

True, even I know people whose cancer has returned & I know a lady who passed away within a year because her cancer was too spread for her to be saved. I meant do you or Pallavi know about his type of cancer? Is it an "easier" cancer in terms of chemo/treatment etc?

Cancer prognosis (whatever type it may be) depends on the stage at which it is diagnosed. The late the stage the more chances that it has metastasized (i.e. spread off to other parts) and is difficult to control.

^Same. I know someone who had bone cancer and is completely fine and healthy even 15 years after the diagnosis. I know a woman who is in her 90s now who had breast cancer in her 60s. Her son died from natural causes but she's still alive and doing okay! Then there is someone I know who had mouth cancer (non-smoker) and had radiation therapy (no chemo) and was cancer-free within like 3-4 months. Unfortunately the cancer returned again after 7-8 years and he died soon after.

^^Yes, yes, we all know all that but what about Neuro endocrine tumour? Someone said it looks like he will make a full recovery?

Those rumours have been in place since 2004-5 & come from a place of plausibility. No-one took to Twitter & made them up to gain clicks. Neither did I start the thread today so no idea what you're on. Ciao!

Can you change the title pls, now that it's been proven to be a hoax.

^^Ya, the title is disturbing.
