The Lance Armstrong "story" has the smell of bogusness. Is it
possible
that he and his "handlers" have crafted a saga that targets Americans
and citizens worldwide that have, in these very troubled and
uncertain
times, a need for superheroes, to give purpose and assurance to
uncertain lives and weak psyches.

I have several additional questions:

1) How did Lance Armstrong beat his testicular cancer which, as he's
often stated, had spread to his lungs, brains and other areas of his
body?

2) What treatment(s) were used in his "miraculous" cure?

3) Why have we not heard about persons with similarly serious
cancers
overcoming their
afflictions?

4) How, without using steroidal-type chemicals, has he been able to
WIN 7 TDF RACES IN A ROW, in the face of competitors who were as
determined as he is and who doubtless as strong and conditioned (or
steroided) as Armstrong?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt with respect to these
questions, esp. since the first 2 had occured to me.
I know no details of the particular histologic type of tumor, or the
specific chemotherapeutic agents used. He was much used in print and
TV ads by Bristol Myers-Squibb.
I did have a conversation with my internist about how a widely
disseminated tumor could have gone so rapidly into remission, and from
what he said there may have in fact been a bit of spinning of the
story to give the impression of a miraculous cure. According to him,
the particular type of cancer Armstrong had was very responsive to
chemo these days, and that cures of even advanced disease for this
type of cancer are in fact routine.

The 5 year survival rate of stage 3 with metastases above the diaphragm
is 72% (in the US).

Testicular cancer is a very primitive undifferentiated type of cancer
which is very susceptible to chemotherapy unlike many other cancers it
is often cured by chemotherapy alone.
