A member asked:
Statistically, how common for a 1st time dx of breast cancer to be stage 3 or 4?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common: Especially if the mass has been there for a while or you haven't done monthly self-exam. I wish this weren't true. Now, please be brave and do what you know you must.
