One in three breast cancer patients metastasize. But these form only part of the metastatic community. There is another group of people who also metastasize: people who have no history of breast cancer and suddenly learn they are metastatic. These patients comprise to 6% of the breast cancer community. This can happen when a mammogram does not detect a tumor. It can happen when mammograms are initially denied a person, giving the cancer time to advance. And it can happen when a patient’s breast cancer cells spread to other parts of the body where they form tumors, without having ever developed a breast tumor. Today we welcome Susanne Kraus, who is one of the six percent.
