I could have used a doctor like him, or at least some kind of support system, which I didn't have.

After being told I was Stage4 and 6 months later being told, oops, Stage3, and then the doctors acting like it's no big deal, you are ok so just get over living with the Stage4 dx for 6 months.

I'm still angry with those docs about that, and will never trust what they say again.
