doyle will pull thru, hes a beast and iirc, skin cancer isnT Really that dangerous.
hmmmm. depends on how far along it it.
Stage 4 melanoma has a 15% survival rate over 5 years. Much less if near the lymph nodes.
wow , sounds alot crazier than from when my nana had it :-[
- Melanoma's the worst, grows rapidly and can spread quickly to other parts of the body.
- Basal cell grows ridiculously slow and basically never kills anybody.
- Squamous cell (which is what he has) is in the middle but still has a really good prognosis (re: very few people die from it).
Definitely being diagnosed with cancer is a stressful event so I don't want to downplay it but non-melanoma skin cancer is one of the "better" cancers to be diagnosed with.
Stage 4 cancer would mean that the cancer has invaded the lymph nodes already. Cancer invades locally and then goes to lymph nodes and then to other organs in the body. If the cancer is in the lymph node, it'll mean the cancer is either stage 2 or 3. Stage 4 of any cancer is cancer that has metastasized or gone to other organs.
I'm not sure about the actual survival rate numbers for melanoma but those look about right for stage 4 melanoma. It is a bad ass disease.
