Doctors: What they know and don't know  

Heh, believe what you want, I don't care. I was there; you weren't, despite your authoritative but laughable claim of what dad was told. The story is not made up. Dad was never told that he was in remission, but thanks for that assumption, doctor. It was always, "Not a cancer cell in your body, sir!" Got everybody's hopes up, at least the first and second times we heard it. Then we became skeptics. Like I said, it's become a morbid family "joke" now. Maybe you've never had a close relative suffer with cancer, and that's fine. Talk to an oncologist some day. See if they know what causes cancer in a person with no family history of it. Ask them if it's possible for the cancer to "hide" and reappear somewhere else in the body? Then come back on here and spout your dumb remarks, mursey.
