This information was very interesting to read for me now. My dear friend, who's husband posted here for a while, lost her battle to this offshoot of breast cancer. When they first diagnosed it, they gave her a year, and that is what she got. It wasn't a good year either. She spent several months at home in bed unable to move her legs and an arm. The first sign she noticed was trailing vision. She would look at something, then see it a few moments later somewhere else. She mentioned this to her onc and he ignored it. She should have had a brain MRI immediately, but that took some time - I am still angry about that. Tykerb (breaks the brain barrier) was not readily available at the time, and by the time she was able to start treatment, it was too late...She did radiation and a few other things, but I was in the middle of my own fight and didn't understand her diagnosis. Thanks for the info. I hope and pray for a cure for ALL cancers...
