Re: Stage IV Survivors out there?

Hello Annette and Pam,
Thank you for checking in.
I like the fact from Annette that "they are out there living their life".
Because of today technology, there are many stage IV breast cancer survivors i believe. I really hope one day it will be like HIV that we can live with the control from medicine and no more death sentence.
Love you all,
Gift
