I was recently watching a tv program when a Harvard professor of biology said that human beings were innately programmed to look for answers and explanations for problems.I suspect that when we get ill we look to understand the reason and find a solution. Unfortunately at the moment we don't have those answers for bc even though I wish with all my heart that we did.I suspect that in years to come we will be able to identify a mosaic of causes that differ between individuals.
The most reassuring thing my onc ever said to me was that it is impossible to predict with certainty how the course of any bc will go as every bc is individual and every immune system responds differently. True there are trends and some patterns but as we are not at the stage of personal tumour biology or immune function assessment we are at best in my opinion making guesses about outcomes!
