I think the pendulum might be swinging the other way - me and a lot of other folks in my stage 4 support group got given a very grim diagnosis and subsequent prognoses from our oncologists even though the 5 year survival statistics are outdated.
It was quite depressing in the beginning but after connecting with some people who have survived years past their onc's expiry date, I feel hopeful.

Apologies if my previous comment was doom and gloom - was just thinking about the things doctors do and perhaps even know and have to decide... sounds incredibly stressful. But of course that was one specific case, and every case and person is different. Anyhow, stay strong, and best of luck to you, truly.
