I just submitted a rather rambling response to this article. One of my queries is wondering how many women will be diagnosed at a later stage (say, in the next ten years) after this article?
I know that the stage of one's BC is not the sole or even independent factor for survival, but wouldn't it always be better to find BC earlier rather than later? Ugh. This article p*sses me off, and that doesn't happen easily these days.
Take care,
