Wink Re: Long term survivors

Please tell Florence to keep fighting. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to stay positive !!!!!!! There are many members on this board who have survived many years with a stage 4 diagnosis-------------even more than 10 years !!!!!!!! Our founder was diagnosed in 1990 !!!!!!! Stage 4 breast cancer patients have an even better chance of long term survival than ever before, because of all the new medicines being developed and approved by the FDA.
Try to think of cancer as a chronic disease rather than a life threatening disease. That helps.
Take care. All the best to you and your wife.
