In addition, breast cancer projects tend to lump together patients with all sorts of different tumor characteristics at diagnosis. For example, a patient with a Stage 1 diagnosis of a Grade 1 tumor and no node involvement is going to have a different prognosis than a patient with a Stage 2 diagnosis of a Grade 3 tumor with 3 positive nodes. But they are often both included in the same study. Unfortunately, a statistical analysis has certain unavoidable limitations.

Yes, you’re right. I’m currently fighting what I thought I understood about my condition to is exactly the worst possible for my condition. My new doctor is brilliant and kind yet I’m not sure it isn’t too late given my previous doctor and her diagnosis which now is clear to have been completely out of ignorance. I think it means my condition is possibly worse and cannot be fixed. I have several good exams etc. that might be helpful, and I’m hopeful yet. I’ll be back. All comments are welcome.
