Slower growing, low-grade cancers, such as estrogen receptor-positive tumors – a more common type of breast cancer – if they come back, are more likely to come back later down the line, 10 to 15 years or more, Attai explained."
Dang, that is a scary statement......particularly for breast cancer patients. However, it also has me wondering if other 'slow growing, low grade cancers' (i.e. colorectal cancer) could also fit in this category??

I am so sorry for Olivia Newton John, I had no idea. And yes, the above statement is a very scary statement. Does make you wonder about colorectal cancer. Butt maybe "estrogen receptor-positive tumors" is the reason why. Scary,
