It certainly is a never ending journey for a lot of us. I'm 19 months into having stage 4 metastasized to the bone. For the most part I accept this, figuring down the road it most likely will get worse. For now I just go about my daily life as best I can. When having a not so good day, I remind myself been here before and it will get better. I think the reminding myself is a big deal. Also there are times on this site where I read something someone says and it helps me so much. It's not easy for me having a conversation with someone about my condition but on here it's no problem, so many caring people helping each other. And one more thing, this makes me smile.. Someone's wife pointed out that although we are on the same boat, It's not the titanic. Best to all.
