Re: WHY breast cancer treatment can never be "one size fits all"

Thank you Lani. I'm please to see this information. I was multi focal in the right breast and asked if there was any difference in the lesions by the nipple, which were only detected by MRI, and the the larger lesion located above. Five years ago, that question was a bit ahead of the medical communities way of thinking. Now so many changes are bringing more tools to the treatment of cancer.

I'm so glad you are great at discovering this information and sharing it with us.
