Aimeeuvk,
Very sorry to hear about your sister. I was diagnosed with stage 4 February 2021. It metastasized to lung, liver and abdominal lymph nodes. I’ve received chemo and immunotherapy and am currently pausing treatment as the original tumor was gone after about 6 months of treatment and the lungs are clear and the liver thing may have just been an artifact, not cancer. The abdominal lymph nodes have greatly reduced but they are monitoring as scans have been stable for a year. There are many stage 4s that are outliving old statistics, so ignore the statistics. Was there any bio marker testing? I know a couple stage 4s that are still around even 5 and 7 years after diagnosis. Immunotherapy has been a game changer for this diagnosis. Wish your sister all the best in this journey.
Rachel
