Way back when, I never thought I'd be writing you now. How glorious to be wrong.<br /><br />Richard WeissbergRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09961539550771526407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020989200831574035.post-4052074771817166882009-12-19T22:24:23.516-05:002009-12-19T22:24:23.516-05:00E-Patient Dave: I started pretty much where you ...E-Patient Dave: I started pretty much where you did with a Stage IV, Grade IV Dx in April 2007, and was totally flipped out by my prognosis. But I always thought there was a way out of this predicament...one that would work for me. My job was to find it. For me it's been Surgery and Sutent along with learning all I could about treatment so I could choose the best for me. Here I am almost three years later, NVED for a year and still working hard to choose the best path to stay that way. <br /> <br />You couldn't have given K. better advice. The only useful approach: "find out what's so, find out what your options are, and ask "what's next." <br /> <br />Your fellow cancer Warrior,<br /> <br />Richard Catlettrcatlett@wavecable.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020989200831574035.post-43953238750253210422009-12-19T09:08:31.532-05:002009-12-19T09:08:31.532-05:00Dave,
