Hi Harebellle. This is from the NHS website. 

• stage 4 – the cancer has spread from where it started to at least 1 other body organ, also known as "secondary" or "metastatic" cancer

• T describes the size of the tumour, with numbers 1 to 4 (1 for small, 4 for large)
• N stands for lymph nodes, with numbers 0 to 3 (0 means no lymph nodes have cancer, 3 means many do)
• M stands for metastases or whether the cancer has spread to another part of the body, with numbers 0 or 1 (0 means it has not spread, 1 means it has)

Hope this helps x

So am I stage 4?  

I've been telling people I am, but it doesn't actually mention the words Stage 4.

It does say Metastatic.  Is that the same? It's so  confusing!

I have never heard the wording stage 4 for my cancer either, but mine has spread to lungs from the womb, so yes unfortunately stage 4. Metastatic or spread is stage 4. X 

I didn't get any staging either, just the words metastatic and inoperable. However there was treatment and that really helped.

I don't know why they sometimes use staging and sometimes don't, but as per Chelles' post metastatic seems to be synonymous with Stage 4.

I think it’s best not to dwell on staging, it is but a number. More important to think of the wording “treatable”  I have been incurable but treatable now for 8 years.
