Re: How many progress to Stage IV?
I have seen one of the mbc organizations state that 30% of early stage will progress. I can't remember which one though or how they came to that number.
I don't think it is good to base any calculation on 5 year survival rates. I was diagnosed after 5 years and have seen many women on other sites who were diagnosed after 5 years.
