Well, pretty much it is there and gone - although there are cases where it is caught early and surgery is able to be performed. Even in those cases though, most patients only live another year or so before it is back with a vengance. There is no early detection testing, no warning signs, no clues, no anything. It just pretty much appears one day, if your Dr. is smart enough to catch it with a CT scan.

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread - it is just one of those subjects I am adiment about....the more info you have, the better able you are to stop it early.
