| Happy Belated Birthday!  
 I had so many questions and fears when I first received my diagnosis.  It was on this site that I read of many successes to Stage 4 people like yourself and other stage 3ers.  Until then I really only knew of those whose outcomes were not so good.  Thanks so much to you and Joe for making this site possible, you are truly wonderful people.
