Lance Armstrong.

STAGE 4 IS A TERM USED TO DESCRIBE AN ABNORMALLY GROWING CELL. NORMAL CELLS ACHIEVE APOPTOSIS OR CELL DEATH THEN ARE REPLACED. CELLS THAT GROW ABNORMALLY OR DONT DIE ARE CANCER. STAGE 4 IS A LEVEL OF ABNORMAL GROWTH. CANCER AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL, DEATH NO!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE TYPE 4 CELLS?

Lance Armstrong had stage 4 testicular cancer and he's doing ok. However, if you have lung cancer or glioblastoma, then you need to start making hospice plans. good luck

Yes, it's very very bad.

stage 4 is terminal and the patient will go onto management rather than "cure". Management for pain and also the management in the size of the tumor (depending on where the tumor is)

the patient, when diagnosed as stage 4 will automatically go on palliative care which doesn't mean full hospital care straight away. It means that a nurse will visit to administer class a drugs etc; when they need to be given IM (intra-muscular).

I hope this isn't happening to you or someone you love,

Good Luck and take care

Stage 4 for cancer i believe is pretty bad.

terminal means theres not much hope...Stage I cancers are localized to one part of the body.
Stage II cancers are locally advanced, as are Stage III cancers. Whether a cancer is designated as Stage II or Stage III can depend on the specific type of cancer; for example, in Hodgkin's Disease, Stage II indicates affected lymph nodes on only one side of the diaphragm, whereas Stage III indicates affected lymph nodes above and below the diaphragm. The specific criteria for Stages II and III therefore differ according to diagnosis.
Stage IV cancers have often metastasized, or spread to other organs or throughout the body.

My mother-in-law has stage 4 NSCLC (Non small cell lung cancer) She has multiple brain tumors, and it is now in her bones as well. Although it sounds really bad, we are still holding out hope. She has undergone radiation treatment and now is doing Chemo. Not all doctors just write off stage 4 cancer patients. If it will kill her either way then she might as well go out fighting. That is how she looks at it. Good luck and keep hope alive.
