Re: Calling all stage iv sisters
Hi Jean,
I was diagnosed Stage IV (liver mets) in August of 2006; NED after chemo for three years; single met back in liver 2009; (Navelbine, resection) back to NED since then. I work full time, Mom full time (two teenagers!!) wife full time, volunteer, vacation and in general lead a completely "normal" life. I get my Herceptin every three weeks and try to remain hopeful. Yes, it can be difficult, but there really is so much hope. To my Stage IV sisters: please stay strong.
