Cancer survival statistics are based on how long a person lives after diagnosis not the patient’s age or cure. Various cancers are cured every day. It is largely dependent on the type of cancer and the stage. Stage 1 ovarian cancer has a 5 year survival rate of 80% at stage 4 it is 10%. If a 75 year old woman is diagnosed with a stage 1 ovarian cancer she will likely live to be 85, if she is diagnosed at stage 4 she probably will not. This isn’t an exact science and there is no way to know how statistics relate to an individual.

Thyroid cancer develops in your thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck, just below your Adam's apple. Although your thyroid gland is small, it produces hormones that regulate every aspect of your metabolism, from your heart rate to how quickly you burn calories.
Sometimes you may develop one or more solid or fluid-filled lumps called nodules in your thyroid. Most of these are noncancerous (benign) and cause no symptoms. But a small percentage are cancerous (malignant). Serious complications are possible in thyroid cancer.
I know a woman who was diagnosed with severe breast cancer. I'm not sure what stage... but she went through chemo and radiation. She was so positive though. She beat it after a couple eyars of fighting. It hasn't come back, thank goodness.
Some people its an only option. Imagine your weight 500 pounds, you live in your bed, you cant bathe or go to the bathroom by yourself, it hurts to walk because the weight is too much for your hips, knees, ankles, etc. You have to loose 200 pounds or you could die any day.
For you to loose weight you have to eat right and exercise too. Sometimes eating right does not help enough or the exercise is next to impossible. With gastric bypass there are 2 methods. 1 is the gap band which shrinks the stomach to smaller size so eating 2 tablespoons makes you feel full and you stop eating, which turns body fat into energy. 2nd is bypass which they basically connect the esophagus to your intestines..
Stomach cancer is cancer that occurs in the stomach — the muscular sac located in the upper middle of your abdomen, just below your ribs. Your stomach receives and holds the food you eat and then helps to break down and digest it.
Another term for stomach cancer is gastric cancer. These two terms most often refer to stomach cancer that begins in the mucus-producing cells on the inside lining of the stomach (adenocarcinoma). Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of stomach cancer.
