Can a person survive Stage 4 breast cancer?
Stage IV Breast Cancer is widely seen as incurable. While earlier detection, research into the causes, improvements in radiation and surgical techniques have improved cure rates for many forms of the disease, a diagnosis of stage IV breast cancer, the most advanced form, remains a daunting and depressing prospect. Still, progress has been made even with stage IV cancer. While advanced breast cancer patients may need to prepare for the worst, they can also find reason for optimism and hope.
