Wow, you DO have options to consider. I was just reading about the promising early clinical trials for a cancer-fighting virus. They used it on 23 people who had "run out of options" -- lung, ovarian, colorectal, etc. But not breast cancer. It sounds like BC has a lot of treatments in the pipeline. May the beautiful garden that is your brain become NED. Stage IV CAN beome NED
