I can relate to your parents complacency regarding the disease. Details, when we get older, are information overload that, to us, are not relevent. We geriatrics are complacent about such things as stages, margins etc. They are just words that inform others and we are only concerned with "What kind of quality of life will we have for the remainder of our days?"
