The odds that a popular news story written in USA Today on 3/7 has not already been discussed in the OT by 3/9..........< .0000001%

I talked to my aunt yesterday who had the exact diagnosis last year. As of today she is cancer free.
The 9% 5 yr survival rate is a very flawed statistic.
Eta- according to her doc last year, that stat for pancreatic cancer doesnt account for people who died from something else during that time period. Also people who declined treatment because they were already dying of something else. Also, there are treatments today that weren't available 5 years ago. Also the stat doesnt account the age at diagnosis, if the person 50 or 97. Lots of flaws in that stat.

"This frequent response to posts that are old news, originated from a speech given in the movie Animal House."
"What is Germans, Alex?"

Only on the oT can I get downvoted for saying my aunt recently beat cancer. And people wonder why chicken is trying to peel topics off this board to more subforums.
