As someone with Stage IV cancer, I say "congratulations" but don't be so hard on your oncologist - I don't know your details, but every situation is different.

As someone with Stage IV cancer, I say "congratulations" but don't be so hard on your oncologist - I don't know your details, but every situation is different. Every cancer case responds differently. If you think your oncologist was wrong, then switch oncologists. However, maybe (s)he was right if they gave you a life-saving regimen. Enjoy the life you have, and be grateful for every day/week/month/year that you're still around.
