Hello Darlene, I am not a doctor but I do work in health along with having breast cancer myself. It can be imagined that the number of strains stem from the environment and blood types. It may not make sense, but if you think about it everyone do not process a disease in the same manner because their blood and other bodily functions knows how to get rid of the ailment.
