Jen,

With 3 school aged children, you have a lot to live for and a lot of living to do. I hope you can gather strength from the survivor stories on this website... I know I did.

I got a Stage IV dx 26 months ago and I'm here to tell the tale. Whatever happens down the road will happen. Today, I am able to enjoy food, exercise, and the company of family and friends.

You are walking down a hard road. Some of us have been there already, others are walking right beside you. We will do our best to answer your questions and cheer you along the way.

Ed is right, you CAN do this!
