      My dear, you most certainly CAN survive this! I was diagnosed with stage 3 in 1985, and in fact have had four metastases, the last one in 1992. I was not given very good statistics as you can imagine, but then my doctor told me that I was NOT a statistic. I have gone through the bone-chilling fear, the anger, the jealousy of those who were well….every feeling imaginable. I can tell you that you will come out of this journey a FEARLESS warrior in this life, who has already faced the devil and won! Nothing much bothers me these days, and getting old is such a blessing! Take heart young lady-life awaits!  cindy
