I am in my third year with stage 4 MBC. In addition , I have stage 1 lung cancer. Also I have other ailments . Previous blood clot, diabetic, high BP etc. I medicate and move on.
I thank God for each day and try to be positive. Not always easy but I am a fighter.
I wish you well.

Everyone is different. I had a friend whose original Diagnosis was stage 4. She lived a full life for more than 10 years. Also had an uncle that lived more than 10 years. Traveling and enjoying life. That was a long time ago. There have been many advances in treatment and management since then. Positive thoughts and prayers for peace for you

Wishing you well!
