Sorry I'm posting this so late; I hope you have a chance to see this before you leave. I'd like to know
- what is the current research on beta blockers and slowing down metastasis
- is there a definite link between breast cancer and diabetes or other auto-immune diseases-my mother had diabetes, my sister had MS and my father had Parkinson's
- are there any clinical trials on oligometastatic breast cancer
- is there truth to the cross-talk concept between ER and HER2 receptors - is Tamoxifen after Herceptin therapy fueling the HER2
-what are the thoughts on if adrenal exhaustion, fatigue, insufficiency is one cause of breast cancer - I have a doctor who went over my medical history when I was first diagnosed and she believed in the years before my diagnosis I had adrenal exhaustion (she mentioned progesterone stealing) and there is some thinking that this can lead to chronic illnesses and cancer; is that why the beta blockers are effective, because they work on the adrenaline receptors
- some research is finding that workplaces can be a factor - what about driving an older model car with exhaust problems - has anyone cross-referenced older model cars (by insurance) and patients who have cancer
- is any research finding that stage IV patients were possibly understaged at initial diagnosis for early stage- is better diagnostic testing in the works

Thanks for your help!
