Thank you hopeful for posting this article. I hope that new members will read this as it explains how difficult it is to say who should and should not have certain treatments. Of course we need this today as so many suffer through treatments decisions.

We must keep in mind, we are all different and all tumors are not the same so what works for one is not the answer for another.

A larger tumor can have low Ki 67 levels which means a less aggressive cancer, while a higher Ki 67 level informs the patient that they are in the high range. There are many levels yet to be learned.
