Re: How many progress to Stage IV?
I read somewhere that disease free survival for her2 positive BC was 79% at 4years. So if they are only counting early stage bc then that means 21% progress - since her2 is so aggressive they may have some reoccur after the 4yrs but it probably isn't significant
this is consistant with what my onc told me which is that her2 diagnosis is about 10% worse overall survival then her2 neg of the same stage - so that matches up with elizabeths 89%
at 5yrs
