A little hope

I have read a lot of entries from new posters recently. It makes me so sad to see the group grow. While we are glad you found this informative site, we wish you did not need to search for answers because of a recent mets diagnosis. If you have a Dr.who has predicted the end of your life (run!!) or you have been playing naughty with Dr. Google, take a deep breath. Things will seem more positive once you have a treatment plan in place and you are actively doing something instead of waiting and wondering.

I was in your place 9 years and 9 months ago. June 2011.

Since that day, I have participated in 3 clinical trials, am followed by 2 research groups, have witnessed 6 new treatments receive FDA approval, and celebrated the passage of the Right to Try law. I truly believe the cure is close. My goal is to live until it is found.

Today I share my story of hope, and wish you peace as you learn the details of your diagnosis and the treatment ahead of you. Thrive.
