Me, too
Angela,
I'm sorry for you. I know how painful the stage IV news was for me, too.
My breast cancer diagnosis helped energize me into adopting a healthier lifestyle. I lost 30 lbs and began exercising daily. I'm not sure it helped extend my time to reoccurrence, but I sure felt better.
I went 7.5 years NED before Stage IV to my lung in June '06. Taxol and Herceptin did the trick for me. Hopefully you will have very good success with your treatment. So many on this site have fought this beast back for many years.
Michelle
