I'm typing a report that says the patient has infiltrating ductal carcinoma, ER positive, PR positive and something that sounds phonetically like "hir-tu-nu" positive. Anybody know what she's talking about? Later she says "node positive" so I suspect it has something to do with lymph nodes. Thanks in advance!

Selenium + vitamin E can prevent & cure both breast cancer & prostate cancer! (Brazil nuts are the best source of selenium, & sunflower seeds are an awesome source of natural vitamin E!)
And YES, of course the drug companies know about it, but broadcasting this information to the public would stop the flow of nearly $$ 1/2 million per cancer patient! Not to mention all the multiplied millions in donations to the ACS for the so-called "Race for a Cure," which is a lying farce. All that money guarantees that they will never want to be put out of business.
