There is no way to tell what the survival rate is for any specific illness, as there are many forms of each one, as well as the general health of each patient. And there are treatments being developed or improved every year to treat previously incurable conditions. One of our member mentors, @merpreb, is a 27 year survivor of lung cancer.

You have not mentioned when you were diagnosed and what your current symptoms are. Do you have Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus (CAEPV) or intermittent recurring EBV? Are you under the care of a doctor for this?

Hi Sue,

Please tell me, what are the diagnostic criteria to be diagnosed with CAEPV or intermittent recurring EBV? Do "they" use the EBV EA-D IGG antibody test? I asked for that test and my number is >150. I am waiting to get an appointment with an infectious disease doc in my area. I feel like they won't know anything about this anyway...we'll see.
