4. Do you think this may have factored into Kerry's concession?
Among other things?

6. Just thinking the same thing.
From what I understand, it is ductile cancer. The type that can spread easily.

I sure hope they are catching it early. Fortunately she has great medical care available to her.

9. Invasive ductile
I don't know if that makes a difference or not. But just heard it on the tele.

13. That is the most common type.

So if I remember correctly, prognosis is very good, especially if it is early stage cancer.
