You are a lovely and caring person Dr Liz 💛💛

Why wouldn't they go ahead and test in stages 1-3 patients and give it to them so they never get to stage 4 ?

Grateful for all the efforts of the research and development team and the funding to support it. It takes a village that’s for sure . Thank you for your channel and all that you do for us affected with breast cancer . I just had a late local recurrence 12 years later, same exact breast and subtype. ER/PR positive DCIS stage 1, unilateral mastectomy 5 weeks ago. Will start hormone blocker soon, won’t do aromatase again as joint pains were a nightmare so this time trying tamoxifen. GRATEFUL for yearly mammogram, and radiologist who picked up multiple scattered calcifications measuring 1.9cm . Wishing you all the best as you navigate your recovery and cancer journey. ❤

Thank you for the valuable information—you explained it in such a clear and simple way that even a third-grader could easily understand. Also, I must say, your thumbnails have improved significantly!

Extra 7 months instead of 3. Way to improve. What's the point of suffering so much just to get that extra 4 months, mentally even more stressful

Thank you Dr Liz, you are such a wonderful resource for all of us in the BC World. I had extensive genetic testing done, I do not carry any mutation for cancer. I had the Myriad Test. Would that test show the mutations you speak of in this video? I had ER+ HER- 4mm ILC and small DCIS.

Can we get genetic testing to see if the drug would work for us
