My doctor says he no longer considers stage 4 terminal he says it's a chronic health condition. Just hearing that made me feel better, like yes I'm not going to die

Yes but few docs like to use the term "terminal " usual phrase is "treatable but not curable ". Many people live comfortably for many years with stage 4 cancer.
