Stage 4 diagnosed September of 2007. Multiple mets to lungs after multiple VATS surgeries, on Avastin and Xeloda for three years and have minimal disease in one lung. So, it's going on eight years for me.

I would like to know from the long term survivors what they attribute their survival to? Did anyone do anything alternative.

So happy and congrats to all of these amazing Stage 4 survivors. I am only 7 months into my battle, but I hope to report many years survival just like you all. If anyone sees this, do any of you with multiple mets to multiple places? I have mets to lung, liver and mediastinal lymph nodes? On chemo indefinitely and unresectable, ugh. Would love to hear from others with similar situations:)
