You can't get much of the encouragement from the doctors because they are a lot of the times looking at stage 4 as a terminal one, not as a chronic one.
I met Morna about three ½ months ago. She had been diagnosed three months prior and was really looking for someone else who had gone through the same thing she was going through.
There still are patients who wind up strapped. Sometimes they don't get treatment.
For as long as the ride rolls forward, so too, does life.
I look atthe triumphs my family has celebrated over these past years and marvel atthat fact that many of the highest points have been in the simplest of momentsand would have held less meaning if the days had not been touched by cancer.
