Hi Kate,

My heart goes out to you re: recently diagnosed stage 4. :-( Terryfing, huh? :-( I was a stage 3c (3b in the old standings) for some time, until I became stage 4. Been mets for 4 YEARS!

YOU can do it, Kate! Keep on going!!! Plus, you have a LOT of people here on the board cheering you on! :-)

BTW, if you hadn't experienced a brain MRI, the procedure would typically take about 45 minutes.

Sending you a fuzzy cyperhug! :-)
