Hi Swanky,

I was originally diagnosed 3b in 2003 (3c in new rulings since '04 or '05 or '06??) I didn't get to ask, if I just turned to stage 4 at that time; I just didn't think of it. Me duh!!

Then I recurred to a supra node. I had it a good long while. Abraxane finally wiped it out. I didn't get to ask, if I just turned to stage 4 at that time; I just didn't think of it. Me duh!!

Then a brain met was picked up by a routine brain MRI. THAT, I knew, would indicate that I advanced to stage 4.

So far, my brain is clear....

Hang in there!!
