I currently have 7 close friends with Stage 4 - 2 with colon, 1 with prostate and 4 with Breast Cancer (the last one just diagnosed 10 days ago.) 2 are in my uke group. 2 are in Qld & the others are locals.
They are all leading as productive and positive lives as they can, given their diagnosis and ongoing treatments.
Every day, they are out there doing what they love doing, whilst they still can and displaying the most amazing fortitude and resilience.
If I ever develop Stage 4 (and I hope I don't - but let's be honest here - any one of us who 'don't get it' .. may .... ) I will be looking at THEIR behaviour as an example of how I would deal with it.
