Please answer this cancer question



I've got a question for you...but first put yourself in this situation:


You've been a board certified radiation oncologist for 30 years...and
you head the largest radiation oncology practice in the US.

So one day, a former patient shows up unexpectedly. The patient had
lung cancer with mets. Your treatment was merely palliative due to the
advanced nature of the disease. So you're kind of surprised to see him
walking into your office under his own power a year later. The truth
is, you thought he had died.

Which is not too suprising because after 30 years of practice, you've
never seen such a case as this. You have never seen a case of remission

in a case anyhting like this. It is only then that you discover that
the patient is cancer free.

So here's the question...do you become curious as to what the patient
did to become well again? Or do you presume that it was just one of
those things?
