    I am very sorry. We had a great friend with stage 4 BC, and she lived for quite a few years. And I read a blog written by a woman who has been living with stage 4 BC for something like 10 years. So you never know. Living for a long time with mets is uncommon but does happen.

    I am so very sorry for your loss.

    I'm very sorry Smilingcat. But I'm glad your sister was able to live so well for those years, and I'm glad you were able to be there with her and her family. I'm sure it meant a lot to them.

    Wow this is rough. I am so sorry. Try to forgive yourself for your skepticism. She sounds like she was an unbelievably tough woman.

    SmililingCat - hug yourself, hug others, remember to both laugh and to cry. Don't doubt - as it sounds like your Sis never did. Virtual Hug!
