I was diagnosed with this in April of 2000. I had a 12 hour massive surgery in June,with many complications. i had stage 3 and 4 lymph nodes removed. Less than two months later, the masses grew back-the surgeon could not believe it. I had 33 radiation treatments ,which almost killed me. Unfortunately, I am not in remission. cancer is still present, indicated by ctscans and high calcitonin level. I have a positive attitude and i am just living everyday to the fullest. I am 42-will be 43 next month. I believe our attitude has alot to do with it. this is a rare cancer. Did chemo help you? It was not recommended for me.Good luck and keep praying. Prayer is very powerful.
