I think the word "cure" means very different things for early stage and Stage IV. I've read that in Stage IV, a person will be considered cured if she/he dies of something else other than BC.

I'm Stage IV from the get-go in 2008 and have been NED for 3 years. 3 oncologists think I've been "cured" but I'd rather think I'm in remission until we get more definite confirmation that I've been cleared of BC for good.
