People tend to bring up in conversation about long-term survivors with their status (ER/PR/Her2) and the numbers of their disease-free years since original diagnoses. It is always inspiring to hear about the survivors.
But lemme tell ya what ALWAYS comes to my mind EVERY time I hear of a story: what about their tumor grade? Don't you notice that the popular trinity is always mentioned (ER/PR/Her2), but the tumor grade is RARELY mentioned??
As much as cancer can be so mystified, I am almost sure that long-term survivors mostly likely have slow-growing cancers (either affected by DNA make-up or medical treatment), in other words types of "grade 1" breast cancers. I believe there is a WORLD of difference between grade 1 & grade 3 tumors.
What do you think about the aspect of "tumor grade"??
