This is the recent evidence for us to work with now.
I certainly hope that five years from we will have powerful advancements to treatment. These articles should offer some peace to the newly dx. lady, least we never forget how we felt when we were first dx. I have always felt that the dx. holds a two fold fear of the disease. First the dx. then the treatment is a huge burden on any woman.
