Mickey, I'm heading into my 4th year as Stage IV, after being dx in '99 and recurrence in January '01 giving me membership in the club. The statistics you read really do not apply to us Her 2'ers, as Herceptin has changed the course of Stage IV disease. Your belief in youself as a survivor is integral to the process. Visualization helps, also an affirmative statement that you can repeat to yourself when you feel down. The hope will build from your inner sense of strength in the face of adversity. I know this may sound simplistic, but it will help.
Love, Lolly
