God bless you women. I'm crying watching this. I'm a stage 3 survivor. And I also am aware that I could be a stage 4. This video is powerful. Thank you for having a program like this.
My mother had stage 4 throat cancer..... She had the surgery... Now there was a tumour in waist right side.. That got removed 5 days ago.. Now she will have pet scan tomorrow..
Enriching information,especially as have had many relatives with cancer diagnoses. Watching as consider Pt. Navigator employment in Cleveland,Ohio. 3 August 2018.
Very moving. The background music was not appropriate at some points I thought .....People don’t understand that stage four metastatic cancer Is not considered curable. So glad that there is a place for women who are dealing with metastatic cancer, it’s a very different reality than treatable disease.
Curable no, but treatable yes! For many it becomes like a chronic disease treating symptoms and fires as they appear but always smoldering. We are entitled to hope.
I just came across this video and god bless you women. I am a 36 year old male who fell in love with a woman who had the brca gene.the shutting down of the body is a process
Why have all of the people conceded death? My wife is given a 6 to 12% chance of survival. Someone is in that 6 to 12%. Why not her or any of these people? Yes they cant control it, but why would you give up when there is a chance? If you accept death, it will accept you. You can call me delusional but if i had a terminal disease, i would die with the attitude that i would be one of the few who live, without a doubt in my mind.
Because in order to prepare oneself emotionally & our families we "hope" to be one of the outliers, but have to make peace with the fact that through the many treatments we have had the cancer continues to progress. Spending ones end time in processing whatever we need to can only be achieved if we are willing to see the need to do it. Unless you have experienced treatment that has brought you close enough to death to know how it feels you can't judge. We feel our bodies failing us knowing that it is a downward spiral. Stamina & propping up oneself with grand hope is able to be mustered in the early years if you have been at this for 5 plus & treatment options are coming to an end you don't have any more tools in the toolbox to fight with. Peace & healing

Wow. The story at the end is AMAZING

You make it sound like people with metastatic cancer have no hope. The video does as well. I don’t think that’s the message that should be conveyed.
Curable no, but treatable yes! For many it becomes like a chronic disease treating symptoms and fires as they appear but always smoldering. We are entitled to hope.
wow, this is an extremely powerful video, I'm sure it represents the program perfectly. Keep up the great work JHM

So true. I felt this retreat was a way for people to accept defeat. That’s not the message I’d be wanting to convey. They should never give up.
Keep fighting and prepare for the worst. They aren’t mutually exclusive things.
One can keep fighting but make peace with death.
