I'm one year in with stage 4, I also searched survival rates, wasn't good until I realized the info was very old info. I find that I wake up not thinking about the cancer but about the side effects of treatment. No way is side effects worse then cancer. I try to stay upbeat and enjoy the day. I still work and that helps to distract from everything. They keep coming up with new treatments so there is hope for all of us. Keep up the fight.
