Sometimes the breast cancer just automatically goes there, and the fight is more difficult. If the cancer mets to the bone, it gives more time...

well if there is any good news on the cancer front its that medical advances are occurring all the time, and I even saw a blurb that cancer could be controlled if caught early enough by freezing the cancer via cryosurgery. apparently cryosurgery kills cancer cells as effectively as it does healthy cells, and whats more, the immune system kicks in at the cancer site after cryosurgery for some reason....
here is a
link from the National Cancer Institute, its a bunch of FAQs re: cryosurgery.
here is
another link from the University of Michigan Health System re: Cryosurgery in treating breast cancer.
