I'm not sure how to answer, I have good days and bad but lately mostly good ones. I think I was naive when I asked my doctor "what stage is it" after biopsy came back. Not sure I even know what stage 4 in the bones means. At the time of learning, I got mad and wanted to go back home. What stays with me is my doctor said while no cure, they could control it. Almost 2 years and life goes on. The effect of the meds takes up my attention rather then why I'm taking the meds. I guess I accept the situation. So many on here relating how long they have made it with same issue and I figure okay. As time goes on it's easier to deal with it, I don't have my head in the sand, I just think whatever comes up they can deal with it. I thank everyone on this wonderful site, it has made my journey so much easier to travel. Best to all.
