Hi ladies and gentlemen.

I hope all of you are doing well.

I have not been here in a long time. If you recall I was dealing with my aunt and her leukemia. Then a close friend was dx with stage 4. I want to reach out to all of you for help. My friend is 38 with two children. She has been dx for the third time (first localized, second mets to lungs, now liver and bone). She is a big mess and wants to talk to any stage 4 survivors out there. She feels hoepless.

Are there any stage 4 survivors or do you know of anyone my friend can reach out to, please?

 

Thank you for all your help.

 

XOXO

    Thank you!

    Thank you ladies so much! She would be happy. I will PM you to get your info. and I will ask her to reach out.

    I hope you are doing well. I am really sick of cancer and sadly have become immune to it because so many people around me are getting diagnosed. Don't know anymore but this is just awful and I am tired of it all.

    XOXO

    I have been Stage 4 since

    I have been Stage 4 since 2005. Mets to right ribs and lung. Then remission.  In 2013,  mets to liver and I again went into remission. I am having issues again and may have another recurrence. But I am living proof that Stage 4 is not necessarily an immediate end. We are all so different. Tell her from me,  “Don't give up!”
