Hi,
I had a nephrectomy in September 2001, I have had BC ever since, numerous TURs - life expectance!
My urological oncology consultant rekons my life expectancy is running about the same as most of the population.
Don't worry about percentages as we may be the human race but no one is making book on who wins!
Your Father is going to be a survivor or die - that is what statistics tell us - nothing more.
BC 85% 15% what type, what country, what stage diagnosed, smokers or non smokers, regularly treated or what - just think of all the variables and then start to improve them for yourself and your Father.
Do remember if your Father doesn't care about living enough to quit smoking his problem is far greater than BC!
Good luck and NEVER miss a check up. I am determined to fill an entire filing cabinet draw with notes - I'm only up to 3" of urology notes so far
Regards,
Greg L-W.
