I finally got around to reading the article which I found to be very interesting. Thank you Ann.
Working to understand the relationship between delayed recurrences and the significance of dormant cells could very likely result in many more lives saved in the future.
It was 2 yrs after I ended my 5 yrs on Tamoxifen that I had this last recurrence.
It was also a few months after I started using the Premarin cream (sparingly) that I had this past recurrence.
