Dear Denise

Sorry that all of this is happening to you. Its a good idea if your bone met can be biopsied because (generally), ER+ breast cancer loves the bones more than ER- breast cancer. So your docs are right that it just might have defected and joined the + team.

I am always thinking of you and don't live that far from you either if you should ever, ever need any physical help, let me know. I can come (and maybe when you're done we can have lunch or something.
