Wanted to share this. Our onco has this great software which gives up
to date survival statistics for your exact type, stage, and grade of
cancer. I think it was for all cancers, not just breast cancer. I
don't know what it is called, but US gov't stats are about 3 years
behind. Apparently this software gets updated every 6 months, probably
from a centralized source which gets its data from hospitals.

The American Cancer Society keeper of the statistics for cancers in the
US,
has a booklet entitled Cancer Facts & Figures - 2003. This will give you
all kinds of statistics on most cancers broken down by cancer type or
group.

To order this FREE, 44 page booklet call the ACS at 1-800-ACS-2345.
