Hi Emiller,

So sorry to hear that you are so worried about a close friend or relative.

I can't provide you with any survival rates, but just keep in mind that EVERYONE is an individual. What happens to one person, doesn't always (or often) happen to the next person.

This is a terrifying journey, but don't give up. Breast Cancer is viewed as a chronic disease these days. We just all have to spend our energy fighting it and 'putting out fires'.

Don't give up hope. Stay positive. They are always discovering new drugs and combinations etc to help. Your loved one will be getting the best care available, thank God we live in 2008, not 1978 as treatments now are phenomenol!

Cheers,

MM
