All the best of luck and fight. Averages can be beat and can be beat by a lot sometimes.

Christy was also diagnosed at stage 1 which makes a big difference. I was at least stage 2 two years ago, noticed on hikes when I was taking double the time to do what I had been a few years prior. Just thought I was dealing with a flu bug or something and ignored it. Now that I know the symptoms to have looked for . Probably at stage 3 now. Anyways I have specialists to see and tests to do and lot of exercises and changes to make. Hoping for 4 years to help my wife through her Masters but I could have as much as 10.

Still perplexed how to tell my parents, this is going to suck.

Laura faced this when she was diagnosed with stage iv breast cancer.

She thought that 3 - 5 years was what she would have.

That was 5 years ago and her latest scan came back clean.

What Craig said about exceptions - that's a real thing.

We've met a number of people with terrible diagnosis living longer than they figured they would of.

Do what you need to do.

This is about you now.

I feel really sad hearing this. I remember Laura's mother's grief. She couldn't function for a while.

I'll tell you this though: A lot of people with critical illnesses end up feeling responsible for looking after other people - as though it's somehow their fault.

You were dealt a shitty hand. It's shit bad luck. And as tough as it is to not be the sick person giving care for others, a big part of the grace of your situation will be looking after yourself.

Do what you need to do.

Take care.

I'm sad hearing this news. really sad.

Sorry to hear it Kyle, but as others have said, exceptions happen. You will be one of those exceptions and live a long time. That said, enjoy every moment with your family and friends. Happiness and laughter heal. It will be tough early on, but try to stay positive. We may be all scattered all over the place, but I know everyone on here is pulling for you.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts everyone, I've realize I've derailed a very important thread from its intended purpose and so let me put it back on track to where it should be.

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

And it can't even be abbreviated neatly. Abbreved? Abbv'd?

Missed hockey last night because of dumb shit with work that overran into my game that I didn't necessarily have to be there for but stayed because I was lead. Didn't get much sleep with a sick wife and daughter. Now having a stupid day at work. Thought I was going to be able to just work this afternoon but no, 3 hours of meetings get scheduled. Wings have lost 3 in a row. I am not a happy camper.

Lucy is a good friend of mine.

Gomeshi is swine.

His lawyer is fucking worse.

His lawyer represented creepy brainwashing hockey agent David Frost. Nuff said.

Hit the pothole from hell this evening. Tire basically exploded. That was not fun. My car's taken a beating this winter thanks to Quebec's awful, third-world roads.

I had a dream the other night that a topless Demi Moore replaced Bob Denver as Gilligan. That sounds pretty interesting, until I add that the lady who played Mrs. Garrett replaced Skipper. Really, really weird.
