Re: How Her2+ BC patients develop brain metastases
Statistics don't apply to individual persons (or actions) ever, they are just data put into a certain perspective.
Since people aren't logical but emotional beings they're not equipped to judge their personal risk logically but are directed by hope and fear. We need just enough fear to watch out for ourselves and plenty of hope to keep going.
And while each of us will end up as a data point in one of those statistics, these don't determine our personal future. They are just a tool to give us clues about how best to proceed.
