Serious Question

in Kidney Cancer #1

I am wondering how many stage IV RCC's are out there and how many have made it five years or more.  I know the statistics I just want to see what real life says.  If this is to personal or morbid feel free to comment.  I know for me I am stage IV working on year two now.  I am not feeling great but that is due to the Votrient and not the cancer as far as I know anyway.

    Not sure I want to keep a record.

    Diagnosed Stage 4 Grade 4 May 2013. Halfway there I guess. Thing is I didnt die yesterday, I havent died today and have no intention of dying tomorrow. Outside of that, who knows?
