@lag 15 years living with stage 4B and going strong? That's very encouraging to hear as I approach my 5-year cancer-versary in October.

@northoftheborder I am always happy to be able to tell people that prostate cancer patients can live for many years in Stage 4. Lots of people think they are doomed to die soon when told they are Stage 4, and it is good to give them a counter example. Doctors and their staffs need to be trained and reminded to update their speeches to take into account the current treatments and realities. You have overcome so much--sending good thoughts that the five-year anniversary passes uneventfully. Hang in there.
