Congratulations to Pat Cadigan for Beating Cancer

She just posted the good news.

Yesterday, my oncologist called to give me the results of my latest CT scan and it seems the thing that I didn’t think could happen, happened: there is no more cancer.

My mind is blown.

My original oncologist told me I might have two years or less. If you look up the prognosis for recurrent endometrial cancer, median survival is still given as 12 to 15 months. The five-year survival rate is 20% to 55% depending on how it recurs. I managed to hang in for eleven years, and now it’s gone.

That’s the limit of my coherence right now. There’s a wild party going on in my head.

Congratulations!
