Tabitha, listen to Brian. A doc who is not positive, who is not a fighter, who is not on your side, is not one you want to do business with. One year ago I had a stage IV tumor with lymph node involvement. After surgery, radiation and chemo, I feel like a million bucks, am eating whatever I like and running miles every morning. While I am ever vigilant with checkups, and while stage IV is serious, it is NOT an automatic death sentence. Get a new doc!
