New role call for stage IVers

Its been awhile since the last role call for stage IV gals- so please check in and let me (us) know how your doing.

Include how long since your stage IV diagnosis, as well as how you are doing now.

I will start, I was dx'd stage IV in May 2011; 10 months ago now. Mild progression in the bones over the course of 3 different chemo cocktails in the last 10 months. Latest being Herceptin, Tykerb, Femara and Zoladex. Feeling amazing.
