A member asked:
I just found out i have a very firm mass in between the ribs in my left back the surgeon is going to remove it. what chance do i have of no cancer?

Stay positive: The best information I want to give you is that not all that is a mass is cancer. Also- many cancers are surviveable but those aren't usually the ones we hear about. Stay positive and hopefully good news comes your way soon.
