    Can't and wouldn't if I could ;-)
    rapidrog,
    I hate to see a question go unanswered, but I don't think any one of us is capable of sticking a timeline on you =) I know there are people who have been stage four for years and some who were given up on who turned around and proved their doctors wrong. I hope you will be one of those!
    Take care, and keep posting,
