Is this definitely stage 4? I've been saying I'm stage 4, but the letter doesn't mention it.

  • Hi Harebellle, I have just replied to your other post in the incurables but thought I would also reply here as may help others. 


    • 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
