I walked around with Stage IV OC in 2009. When my doc told me to get my affairs in order as it was very serious and Stage IV, I could tn believe it. I really felt great, lots of energy and had no symptoms at all. Many times OC presents no symptoms until late stages which is why it is such a deadly disease and sometimes so hard to treat.
