Now you have lots more weapons to fight with as there are at least 1/2 dozen anti-hormonals to use.

It does validate second opinion pathologies from large research cancer centers.

This is actually good news. ER+ bc does love the bones (far more than ER- cancer). Especially if its just the bones versus bone and soft tissue.
