[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The story of her wedding in 2015 sounds really lovely.  https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/31/style/elizabeth-wurtzel-finds-someone-to-love-her.html

Though I find it disturbing her initial diagnosis was only stage 2 breast cancer.   That's a fairly early stage for diagnosis, to have it turn out to be terminal in the end. [/quote]

30% of early stage breast cancer becomes stage four (terminal).  People forget that admist all the pink washing.[/quote]

This.

My mother was diagnosed and treated for Stage 2. Two years later it came back as Stage 4; died three years later. So, 5 years from original Stage 2 diagnosis.

Breast cancer sucks. And when it comes back (as it usually does), it comes back with a vengeance.

I don’t know that “as it usually does” is really an accurate statement.

I’m 6 years out from a bilateral Stage 1 diagnosis but I think recurrence rates vary a lot based on type and initial staging.[/quote]

Recurrence rates for stage 1 are quite low in the short-term/first 5 years. Sadly, the rates are more like 50/50 for stage 2 (and it’s downhill from there).

Best of luck to you! Stay on top of your follow up screenings. [/quote]
