There are some that have lived 30 years! I'm 7 years post diagnosis, 6 years post SCT, with no relapse and enjoy every day with no symptoms. It is possible, depending on your individual circumstances, to live a very long life indeed. My doc doesn't think it is likely to ever come back. All the best to you!
I was told that “We don’t come stamped with an expiration date”. This is a treatable, manageable, unpleasant disease. Take each day as a gift, live like you are dying… nobody gets off this world alive.
Michael,
After doing lots of research, I see once I progress to MM I will have 2 1/2 years, because I will be high risk. My cousin has had it for over 20 years and another cousin for over 10 years. Everyone is different. I should have progressed already. I have not. Diet, and supplements can make a huge difference. Zinc supports TP53 which prevents tumors, so I take that. Calcium, magnesium, D3 and K2 keep the bones strong, so I take that. Check out “Chris beat cancer.” There are others too. The maker of Astaxanthin beat incurable blood cancer. He has a company called ValAsta, who makes Astaxanthin,which cured him. The patients that do the best are the ones on a Mediterranean or Vegetarian diet.
