Hi Pink 66 - your post was brilliant - can't believe it's now another one year on...
these pts in particular are great because there's now suggestion that 20-30% of all breast cancer diagnoses will progress to MBC, but the second pt is VERY interesting re 9000 people - where did you get this fig from? and I cannot understand in our current health system why this accurate data is not available???? - that is 9000+ women who could be potentially better managed to maximise their lifespan, quality of life and potential employability - therefore a tax payer too.....
- approximately 20% of all breast cancer diagnosis will progress to secondaries
- there are approximately 9,000 people living with
secondary breast cancer in Australia at the moment (estimates as
statistics are NOT kept)
