Re: percentage of us who develop brain mets???
gqmom,
Another point to keep in mind. New current stats are on the horizon for us as more early stage and later stage patients have been treated with herceptin which will make those stats change.
Also, more women are being dx. earlier as awarness and newer digital mammos have come on the scene.
Of course we have a long journey yet to walk....
we are seeing more women survive with her2 in recent years and I really believe that we will see impressive stats in the next few years.
Knowledge is power so don't bury your head in the sand but do keep a balance with the information you are reading. It may be reporting old stats.
Best regards,
jean
