I would be one of the first to buy a copy because I feel you are telling my story. I remember coming to this board in December 05 and you were here. I think we were both diagnosed stage IV around the same time. I could definately relate to you and what you were feeling because we were going through it together in a way. When you announced you were NED in March, I was estatic that it happened to you and prayed it would happen to me also, which it did a month later. I cried when you came back later and said your liver mets had returned, but am so happy to see you are NED again. I worry that if I ever get bad news again I might not be positive to think I can overcome it again, it might just be too hard. But you have proved it can be done. Write this book, it's not just your story, it's mine and lots of other women here that have heard those damn words..."it's terminal". I don't use that phrase very often because it feels so final, but it is a fact that we all are terminal..we are just more aware of it than most. Please write it if you feel you can. I wish there was more books that gave some hope, inspiration or just plain "i understand how you feel" to those of us with advanced cancer. ...sherryg683
