Hello Virginia,

I to was a stage 4 and am around to talk about it almost two years out. The stat's don't mean a thing. He will either survive or not. I would take the approach that He's going to be around a long time. The treatment and quality of life issues are a problem but alot of us don't experience the worst of them. You can overcome the side effects, it just takes time. Think positive and keep posting concerns you have.

Best Wishes, Danny Boy
