Re: Calling all stage iv sisters
I am not stage 4 yet, but am realistic about my prognosis. My question to you... Did you suspect mets because you had symptoms? What kind of symptoms? Or was it found in routine tests? I feel selfish asking this of you, but I wonder about every ache, and am unsure if it is getting older, or my exercise program, or stress, or past chemo effexts or mets, etc. Etc.
