You have received such wonderful responses I can hardly add much, but I want to add my prayers and good wishes to all these others. I have survived---and thrived---for 22 years of fighting BC, the last 3 and a half after her2 lung mets. My onc gave me 3 months before I started herceptin, then a year. When I laughed at him and told him he was wrong and I would be around at least 5 years, he apologised and agreed, and said that my attitude would make the difference. I have actually been stage 4 for 18 years now. There is so much available now to fight with, and cancer is becoming more a chronic treatable illness than the death sentence it used to be considered. Many oncologists are still stuck in the old statistics. We are now creating new statistics! There are so many great survivor stories here---Please let us know how you are doing. I pray that you will have a great survivor story to tell as you go along! Hugs, Tricia
