Re: Is there benefit in surgery for stage iv's
Vonny i canunderstand wanting to get the lump out. I think they leave it to use as an indicator to see if the treatment is working.
This might be a dumb question to everyone but what has the spine got to do with BBB? Is it if the cancer goes thru into the bone marrow? I have numerous spinal mets so left wondering.
