Victoria, your friend must be Stage IV (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). I too am Stage IV, but my cancer has spread to my abdomen and neck. I talked to my oncologist about this the other day. He told me that he has some patients who have been Stage IV for over ten years. Some people respond well to the chemo and some do not. Only God knows why.
Your friend really needs to have faith that she will be one of the ones who responds really well. Most of the people who are long-term survivors are very optimistic people. I really believe that has a lot to do with it.
You must be a great friend to be researching this for her. Good luck.
