That is interesting. I am almost 6 years and never had 5-FU or cytoxan. Maybe, it changed since I was diagnosed. Anyway, sounds better than when I first started on this journey. We need more positive info such as this. Thanks for sharing that is why I love this site. hugs, Sandy

Now that makes me really happy to actually see something "documented" about a 10 year survival rate. I hope the "documenting" trend continues.
