My friend (in her early 30s) had stage 4, terminal ovarian cancer. She was sent to a hospice place to die. 16 weeks later they sent her home and that was 15+ years ago. She rallied, got better. It happens. I think they are happy to send her home alive. My mom had the same oncologist office and they refer to my friend as ”the miracle.”
My friend had to battle a morphine addiction and have physical therapy afterward because those 2 things don’t matter when you’re dying.
I would guess it’s amazingly rare.
