My mother had it. It can be managed really well and also completely heal (in the context of cancer, which means a really low 5 year recurrence rate).

Yes, indeed. My father had it in '06 and lived for 16 years more (a different kind of cancer ultimately got him). After receiving a stem cell transplant in '09 he was cancer free for over a decade. The marvels of modern medicine.
