Re: NY Times article on stage IVs with stats and singling out her2+ breast
Deena and Karen,
Not all size 8 shoes fit a size 8 foot!
Okay - the stats are not the best news - but we have many of our sister who have been stage IV and doing
so for many years. Andi is well over 12 yrs. maybe even 14 yrs. now I think.
Research needs to be multiplied by many more dr. doing research thats for certain, but there are many
ladies who are stage IV and living full lives.
My prayers and support are with you.
Jean
