Stage 4...five years later

Postby JDinNC » Mon Sep 07, 2015 6:02 pm

I know there was a topic about stage 4 who have made it past five years. Did your oncologist classified you as cured or just the recurrance rate drop lower. Have you change or done anything that you felt helped you get to this point. Or was it all just pure luck since you haven't done anything special since day one.

There doesn't seem to be any type of information for stage 4'er who have or are trying to get to the five year mark.

For those of us focusing on making it to the five year mark...we sure could use your input.

Thanks...
