It has an 80% mortality rate after 5 years, and I'm past that. Of course, I don't know if that means I have 1 year or 20 left. I've been through surgery (colon resection), radiation, most chemo regimens, etc. Actually this version normally mets to the liver, so I'm a little unusual in that it went to my lungs, but that's really secondary.

Anyway, if he'd like to chat, let me know and we can connect.

Best,
