I agree Chuck! Attitude is everything. New treatments are around the corner. Plus the fact the only one who knows how long we have is God.

My Doc always hedges on predictions. It will be 2 years in October since my diagnosis was confirmed and I started on Vyndamax.
I’ve had some setbacks with regards to med adjustments but overall I’ve felt very good.
Doc says my age (71) and good prior physical condition are contributing factors in holding me in “neutral”. He is guardedly optimistic I can make 5+ years IF I can avoid factors such as Covid, pneumonia etc.
Meanwhile, new meds are raising hopes.
Attitude is everything as well.
