Penelope, I am both saddened and shocked that a doctor would tell you an answer like that about your longevity. Being stage 1 is highly in your favor and if your nodes were negative like mine, then that is another plus. Don't let his words weigh you down or take away hopes for a long future with your family. Plus, new advances are constantly being made. My onc told me my prognosis is very good and that is what I believe and hold onto.
