Information gets better by the day. 3 months from now could look quite different than it does today. You won’t find this information in your local paper or from even your local doctor.

Here are common sense reasons why you want to take these survival stats with a grain of salt.

1. These numbers are based on the past. Being diagnosed with cancer today gives you a much better chance of survival than being diagnosed 5 years ago. The stats don’t reflect that because they can’t. How could they take the future into account?

2. The stats include people who die from other causes. For example, if a 92 year old man gets prostate cancer, he has a high chance of not seeing his 100′th birthday no matter what. Cancer affects the old more than the young. If someone dies from an entirely different illness, they are often included in the stats to make the appear artificially grim.

3. A really grim diagnoses can actually help fuel the stats. It’s very emotionally taxing on the body to have a trusted Dr. tell you that you will almost certainly be dead in 3 to 6 months. That kind of news can shock a person and literally “scare them to death”.

4. People with a certain type and stage of cancer are all lumped into one category. The stats don’t reflect the people who take matters into their own hands, get access to the best opinions and research, and do everything right to improve their chances of survival.

He fought it, won a tough battle, and then not only recovered, but got back to cycling and actually won the Tour De France, the world’s toughest bike race post cancer! It is an amazing and true story. Some people call it a miracle, but to me, this is not a game of rolling the dice. You can increase your odds if you take action.

We may see cancer totally defeated and we may see it reduced to a chronic disease like heart disease or diabetes. Many cancer experts already believe it’s realistic to at least expect to live in co-existence with cancer. You may just have to take care of yourself or take the right medicine to keep it at bay. We might even see something much better soon. Cancer funding is going through the roof and the baby boom generation could very well save the day. This doesn’t have to be a death sentence if you don’t want it to. Malaria kills millions of people who don’t get the right treatment.
