Re: stage iv diagnosis????
Hi, I guess I am not clear what you are asking. did she have a biopsy of the possible mets?
Did the possible met area shrink after treatment. If the met was biopsied , and she is stage 4, you are always stage 4.
It is great that the breast tumor is gone. Hopefully you will get more answers next week when you see her onc..
