I was diagnosed stage IV, and May 2006 will be my 5 year mark. So hang in there and take it easy. I also know someone here in my home town that is 12 years out, that the Dr's gave him 6 months so don't ever give up. Keep on keeping on!

Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 17 | Hey Airplane, I had my biopsy done just over two weeks ago. It was done on the same day I went for my first consulation with a specialist. I totally understand your feelings...but for this part accept everything that is thrown at you, take it all in if you can and soon you can make your informed decisions. My first appointment for consulation about surgery and radiation is next Friday 26th August. I am relishing my time before I go. You will be surprised as each day passes it gets a little easier. Do you need anxiety/sleep relief? Doc gave me some meds and said you dont have to take them, just have them for when you need. Hang in there and listen to these guys...thinking of you Airplane. Take care, Karyn
